Buttzville-Ringoes-Trenton; State 30.
State 30 runs southward through the boulderous western part of the
State, sloping downward gradually from the rolling mountain country
where views of farm-dotted valleys open suddenly from the crests of hills.
the road cuts through mountain passes and crosses swift streams to the
tableland in the south where the trees are fewer, the brush more scraggly.
Numerous antique shops and pottery exhibitions make up for the scarcity
of roadstands.
State 30 branches S. from US 46 (see Tour 7) at BUTTZVILLE, 0 mile 1430 alt., 500 pop.) (see Tour 7).
From both sides of the road the ground rises sharply or backs down to
shallow valleys only to rise to new heights beyond. Open fields are blistered with huge rocks, deposited during the movement of the great glacier.
Buttzville to Trenton 50.4 miles.
The road is paralleled by the Lackawanna R.R. between Buttzville and Washington;
the Jersey Central R.R. between Hampton and the junction with US 22; the Pennsylvania R.R. between the junction with State 12 and Ringoes; and the Reading
between Marshall's Corner and Trenton.
Tourist homes and eating places along road.
Two-lane concrete roadbed throughout.
