Way out in the
Pine Barrens (Tabernacle Township), lies one of the strangest monuments in
New Jersey. The plaque is written in a spanish and the statue features an
Aztec eagle. The
monument was created in the memory of the mexican aviator
Emilio Carranza. He crashed in the middle of the Barrens on his way home from
New York City. The monument has been called "the least visited memorial in New Jersey." Its pretty hard to find,
too. The
road it lies along doesn't have a name.
