Checking out the backroads in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens …<\/strong><\/h6>\n


<\/p>\n

20 JULY 2014:<\/strong> Enjoying a relaxing summer break, exploring the backroads around the Wharton State Forest in southern New Jersey. Located entirely within the Atlantic coastal pine barrens ecoregion, the forest has over 500 miles (800 km) of unpaved roads, making it a great Jeep destination.

SUPPORTING MOTHERS<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTeam USnomads is proud to support the work of MothersToMothers<\/a>, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that recognizes the ability of mothers to change their destiny. MothersToMothers, founded by Pamela Parlapiano, partners with local women to create community supported day care and learning centers that change lives. Their model project in Amacho Wato Kebele, Ethiopia, has shown how with just a little help, the mothers in the community can improve the lives of a whole village. Please join us in supporting their efforts to take this successful model to more villages: Donate to MothersToMothers here.<\/a> (Note that all donations go 100% directly to MothersToMothers).
