- The way there
- Route 524 west, Route 537 west
Route 537 and Route 524 east through farmland, twenty-eight minutes of two-lane road that gains only six at rush hour because almost nobody commutes along it.
Almost everything on this site is a shore town or a Route 9 town. New Egypt is neither. It is the village at the center of Plumsted Township, out where Ocean County stops looking like Ocean County and turns into fields, and the drive east to us on Route 537 and Route 524 crosses about twenty-five miles of farmland without meeting a highway.
The one advantage of being out here
Distance behaves differently. Twenty-eight minutes off-peak becomes thirty-four at five o’clock, a six-minute penalty, because the roads between here and Howell carry no commuter volume worth speaking of. Someone in East Brunswick loses sixteen minutes to the same rush hour. If you are coming from the Oakford Lake end of Main Street, the evening is as good a time to travel as the morning.
At the far end is one room with a single NovoTHOR whole-body bed in it, booked by the slot, sessions under twenty minutes. Cleared uses: minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, local blood circulation. A back that has spent years lifting, fencing and standing on uneven ground is the usual reason anyone out here bothers.

Brindletown
Brindletown was a village of a hotel, a mill and estates overlooking Brindle Lake until the federal government bought it in the 1920s to expand Camp Dix. The original site is inside Fort Dix and closed to the public. What is called Brindletown now sits north of it, around Long Swamp Road and Carter Lane.
Questions from New Egypt
- Why is the rush hour difference so small from out here?
- Because 537 and 524 are farm roads, not commuter routes. There is no volume on them to create a jam. Twenty-eight minutes off-peak becomes about thirty-four in the evening, which is the smallest gap of any town we serve.
- Is the drive different after dark?
- Noticeably. Most of 524 and 537 is unlit two-lane road with deer on it, and in winter you will be doing the return leg in the dark by half four. It is not harder, just slower and worth allowing for.
- Can I stop in while I am over that way, or do I have to book?
- You have to book. There is one bed in one room, so if it is running when you arrive there is nowhere for you to be. From twenty-eight minutes out, that is a wasted hour.
- Is there anything I should avoid doing before a session?
- Do not put lotion, oil or sunscreen on beforehand, and come with clean dry skin. Beyond that there is nothing to prepare for and nothing to recover from afterwards.
