On Sunday 26-Feb-2006, I completed a geographic goal by entering West Wildwood Borough in Cape May County. By doing so, I had succeeded in entering all 566 municipalities in New Jersey within the first 57 days of the calendar year. I revisited all 565 (Princeton Boro and Princeton Twp consolidated in 2013) during 2013-14 and photographed each of the municipal buildings.
Note: Im not a county highpointer - someone who attempts to visit the highest point in every county. But I can claim two high points in New Jersey: High Point, the states tallest peak (1803 feet; 550 meters), in Sussex County; and Bald Mountain (1164 feet; 355 meters), in my former home county of Bergen.
