On a recent weekend camping trip with some friends, we passed a couple of roads that, while funny, were really out of place considering they're in the middle of Amish country in central PA.

What funny or great road names have you came across in your travels? No need to just google search for off the wall roads that you've never actually ridden either. Let's try to keep it to the places you've seen.

Here's the intersection we happened to pass by: Nipple and Snapper Rd.



We like to stay at Steel Steeds Motorcycle Campground that's close to there by Lewisburg. The owner Bob is a super cool guy. Don't hesitate to stay there if you're ever traveling that way.

We have one called Swamp Angel Road, and another called Blood's Point Road.
I'd like to hear the stories behind those names.

This is not a joke, this is exit 69 on I-75 in Troy Michigan.

A couple of local roads that come to mind are Buzzards Neck and Charity Neck.

There is a Geeck rd near my house but the residents swear it is pronounced Geck.
