Mt. Airy is a tiny but sweet little village, visible on the right side of Route 202, as one heads north out of Lambertville toward Flemington (about 3 miles out of Lambertville on 202). The focal point from the highway is the tall white spire of a church. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Hartman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 6:48 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] To Cathy Ackerman > Cathy, Thanks for the information, but the second Mount Airy that I am > looking for is definitely in Hunterdon County. > > Mr. Bill > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Cathy Ackerman > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 3:51 PM > Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Blue Mountains found in New Jersey! > > > Hi, I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
