If Shades Of Death Road doesn't get your attention in late October, what will?
Like most rural legends the horrific tales of this drive which passes Ghost Lake (why wouldn't it?) in Warren County, NJ, is highly embellished, but so what? I had to see for myself what stories it had to tell on this perfect fall day, with farm country roads, trees in autumn glory, and the promise of a great pastrami sandwich beckoning.
My "thrill" came later in the day on a road filled with ancient farm building ruins, abandoned cars and crumbling tarmac.

Pendant un road trip aux Etats-Unis, un motard a fait la rencontre d'une biche. Au guidon d'une Yamaha FJR 1300 2014 roulait à 87 km/h sur la route Blue Ridge Parkway en Virginie quand une biche a eu la mauvaise idée de traverser juste devant sa moto.
