New Jersey's Pinelands

The Pinelands, or Pine Barrens, of New Jersey are unique. Covering acres of land, long ago they were home to bog iron industries, then their vast bogs and lakes offered a perfect setting for cranberry harvesters. Driving through the Pinelands over a period of weeks, I fell in love with its landscape of pine trees, wild rhodendrons, and hollies, and then with two centuries old brick houses on either end of a small Pinelands town. Hence, my book, Comings and Goings, a Story of the New Jersey Pinelands, began.
Come to New Jersey, drive through the vast Pinelands, and you'll find yourself enchanted with this wild, haunting landscape.
