The Sourlands are actually in Hunterdon, Mercer and Somerset Counties. They go from Lambertville in the west all the way through Montgomery Twp (where I am) and into Hillsborough Twp on the east side. Hunterdon and Somerset Counties each have a Preserve for walking and hiking. There are wonderful old stories and legends pertaining to the Sourlands, including stories about runaway slaves living there as well as renegarde Indians (okay, Native Americans) and Hessian soldiers. A good reference for this area is "New Jersey's Sourland Mountain" by T. J. Luce. It was published 2001 by Sourland Planning Council. At the time I posted the ordering info on NJHUNTER, although I have no connection to the organization. I just think it's a fabulous book! Good luck with your hunt! There are no Crow listings in the index of the above book, by the way! Sharon Rita Chesterton <rchesterton@erols.com> wrote: The Sourland Mountains are more like big hills....I go over them several times a month on my way home to Lambertville via Hopewell. Heading west on Route 518, you take a hard right at the center light in Hopewell and travel northwest over the Sourlands toward Ringoes which lies in the valley on the other side. It's a very pretty ride, in every season. Have you tried to find the Roff's phone number using Yahoo's "People Finder"?
