In between it and the road is a lake, roughly olympic-pool sized. Behind the house are army bunkers and trenches [my backyard neighbor was a military nut and dug foxholes and built bunkers for his kid, it's pretty crazy and was a ton of fun when I was young!]. Zoom out a little, and to the 'left' of the house is about six square miles of woods and swamp. When I was about 8, some of my friends (also 8) wandered through the woods for a whole day and got lost. The police used a helicopter to find them. Our center of town is here: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=62+hawkin+rd+tabernacle,+nj&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.766543,73.388672&ie=UTF8&ll=39.844115,-74.711033&spn=0.002541,0.004479&t=h&z=18&om=1" rel="nofollow">link</a> It features a church (the huge building with parking lot), the town hall (same corner as the church, much smaller building), a farm (southwest corner), and a cemetary (northeast corner. The intersection itself is a four-way stop sign. Follow Carranza Road to the south and east, and you'll find only pine forest, as well as my town's "claim to fame" -- the crash site of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilio_Carranza" rel="nofollow">Emilio Carranza</a>, Mexico's finest aviator who crashed and died there. For some reason, people have the impression that new jersey is an overpopulated suburb of new york city. I've never understood it... ;-). Check out these woods:
