    1. Re: [NJHUNTER] Blue Mountains found in New Jersey!
    2. Cathy Ackerman
    3. Hi, I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. There is a Mt Airy (in the Blue Mountains) section of PA. This is just a little North of Stroudsburg area. They have opened a casino at Mt Airy not too long ago. This might be what you are looking for.

    3. Cathy, Thanks for the information, but the second Mount Airy that I am looking for is definitely in Hunterdon County.

    3. Oh the Mt. Airy Lodge was a historical landmark. Been there several times myself. I understand they tore down the old building.
