I flew to a business meeting in upper New Jersey. I flew down the Jersey coast coming home.
This part of the coast was heavily populated with beach
houses.

I flew to a business meeting in upper New Jersey. I flew down the Jersey coast coming home. |
||||
|
||||
|
This part of the coast was heavily populated with beach
houses.
|
||||
|
||||
| Then I came to this section that was unpopulated. But it wasn't a wildlife refuge area, so I could have flown as low as I wanted. There were cars and trucks parked on the sand every half mile or so, their drivers relaxing in a lawn chair, a fishing rod in one hand and a Budweiser in the other. | ||||
|
||||
| That small, dark rectangle below next to the water is a pickup truck. | ||||
|
||||
| I approach Atlantic City from the North. | ||||
|
||||
| As I got closer to Atlantic City, I was surprised at all the empty, grassy lots. I would have though they would have been prime real estate. | ||||
|
||||
| You can really see the empty lots now. What's the deal? | ||||
|
||||
| Donald Trump's Taj Mahal. (You're fired.) You can see the wooden boardwalk below. | ||||
|
||||
| You can see Bader airport in the middle of the image below. I need to land there one of these days. | ||||

| A closer look at Bader Field. There is a baseball stadium right on the edge of it. | ||||
