ok so my cousin calls them 'bone roads'...roads with absolutely nothing on them, in most cases not even street lights. i figured, what would be so fun driving down roads with nothing on them blah blah..

turns out its kind of a little thrill. i took a drive down a road in my town called canal road..its nothing but a road by the canal, woods on both sides, its like you are surrounded in the woods and there is just blackness ahead of you. driving it at 20 mph on a foggy night while listening to tool kind of trips you out. also its a cheap date might i add, the girl loved it.

but does anyone have any road like this they like to travel on? or any creepy roads in general. i tried clinton road and that sucked ass..

Any road in NW jersey or down in the Pine Barrens.

NW jersey = forest, a few houses, and mad twisty/hilly roads. A helluva lot of fun, a bunch of us had a cruise last fall and loved it.

Pine Barrens = middle of nowhere, pine trees as far as the eye can see, and straight for miles at a time.

Theres a road that goes through Bass River State Park that I cut through to get to Bandit88's house down in the Pine Barrens. For a few miles, no lights, no houses, little to no traffic. Only thing to worry about is Deer and the Jersey Devil. :)

You must vist the infamous Clinton Road up off rt. 23 in west milford, runs right next to a resevoir kinda quiet sometimes you see/hear weird things

Or

Peace Valley Road pretty much a straight line up off 287 somewheres, again no lights woods all around, weird things lying around like buckets, chairs, etc

Or

Shades of Death Road, the best outa these three a few straight aways here and there in the middle of the woods, cool curves an what not really in the middle of like farmland up off rt 80 in andover

yea ive got more fun roads :wink:

Theres a road around here we take to get to sea isle city...its Route 666. It isn't very long, a couple miles, but I don't think theres any street lights, even though theres a few houses on it, and I believe "Estell Manor School" is on it. Very creepy to ride at night.

I saw a pile of bones on the side of the road sticking out of a burlap bag one day so we stopped...I thought it was really going to be a dead body...but somebody dumped a deer body in a bag on the side of the road. Who does that?

yeah you might be doing them wrong. what really sets a creepy road off is the music you are listening to in your car or even dead silence. also driving like 20 mph is definitely a must. i recently started listening to tool, not their rock songs, but their trippy songs full blast on these roads and it creeps the **** outta me.

Not dangerous at all unless you push your vehicle beyond your limits. There are no guardrails but the road is plenty wide to still push it and be 100% safe. And yes you MUST do it at least once in your life. Of course after doing it once you WILL go back. I would bet you $1000 today on that.

Wrong and wrong and sort of wrong.

The Tail begins in North Carolina and ends in Tennessee. There were ZERO cops when we were there. You are limited to about 50mph simply due to how complex of a road it is, and in various sections 35mph is the max, but not because of the threat of LEOs.

i do the same thing on creepy roads. wierd thing is sometimes when the moon is out you can see the reflection of the road and you can drive without your lights on...i wouldnt recommend it though.

tool is great..next time you are on a creepy road all dark listen to faaip de quaid and viginti tres by tool..full blast. some of the nine inch nails ghost songs are trippy also.

The road is 10 minutes from me. Its at Egg Harbor Lake. If you go on the lake side, and go towards the back, there is a big chunk of concrete, and there is a plaque in memory of a woman and children who were killed by the local indian tribe centuries ago. If you go the other way there is an old boys school. who had a care taker that would chase you if you attempted to trespass. He had an old black pickup and would chase you for a while. He has now since moved, so the thrill of that is gone. Some say satanic meetings or KKK meet there, but its nothing but old ruins. I also live about 3 minutes form the Jersey Devils house foundation. I had a friend who's house is about 300 yards from it in their back yard. Whats creepy is to drive down the dirt roads behind Renault Winery. Sometime you'll find random people walking down them, or several people in the woods walking around!!! That's scary. You should drive down them with no music or in a convertible, just waiting for the Jersey Devil to fly by and pick you out of the car.

I love the roads in NW nj and Eastern PA. Shades of Death I pass daily, the road leading up to it (Hope Rd) is a good road, but is lit and has some houses. Route 611 in PA is a lot of fun driving on. I have to say, I don't get freaked out by dark sparsely populated roads, but probably has something to do with living here my whole life.
