Where is(are) the "Blue Mountain(s)" ? If you know for sure, I would appreciate an answer - NO Speculation, Please - I reserve that prerogative! In the Hunterdon Republican newspaper dated November 18, 1885 there were 2 items regarding the "Blue Mountain(s)": >From the correspondent - "Jingo" - at Ringoes we find: "Mr. L. Dilts and Mr. Mahlon Schenck, with their wives, have returned from a trip to the Blue Mountains, where they went to visit Mr. Walter Wilson. The party made the journey in a wagon." and from the correspondent - "U-No-Hoo" - at Bloomsbury: "S. R. Dalrymple and Mark Creveling, spent part of last week at the Blue Mountain, hunting." Since the 2 items are from opposite ends of Hunterdon County, my impression is that they refer to different "mountains"! The Sourlands come to mind for the group from Ringoes, but I have no 'speculation' for the northern area of Hunterdon, or perhaps the southern area of Warren County. Thank you for any positive leads! I remain your faithful investigator, MrBill PS: I have found no further references to the "Rio Grande" river in Hunterdon County!
