Inhabitors of the side roads

Whenever I drive up to the poconos, I see signs for a town called Belvidere, which sits where the Delaware and the Pequest rivers meet. I've been curious to see this town for the longest time, so yesterday, on the way back home from my road trip, I decided to head down there.
By that time, the rain was falling steadily and the businesses were just closing. It was getting dark. So, it was rather empty and quiet.
The Pequest, which divides the town as it moves toward the Delaware, was overflowing due to all the rain of the last few days, so it was really moving. I followed the Pequest toward the bridge that crosses over the Delaware. This was no doubt the thinnest bridge I've ever been on, but it afforded one of the best views I've seen in a long time, and since there was no traffic, I actually had a chance to take a look. A low fog was coming up off the river, and further down, rain clouds enveloped two mountains. Beautiful.
I turned around back to Belvidere and did some more exploring, driving over the Pequest into the other end of town, where there were restored Victorian homes and a business district. I really liked this place, and I'll be sure to head back soon. Something creative struck me there, I think.
Finding places like this tucked into little corners off of the main thoroughfares make road trips worthwhile, and it's one of the reasons why I like New Jersey, as you just never know what to expect and what you'll find if you take the time to look.
