The road climbs to a cut between Scotts Mt. and the Upper Pohatcongs,
and slopes gently into a country of broad farming acreages and dairy farms
that cover the valleys and make bald spots on the wooded hills.
WASHINGTON, 6.2 miles (460 alt., 4,410 pop.) (see Tour 10), is at
the junction with State 24 (see Tour 10).
Between Washington and Glen Gardner the road is bordered by patterned fields that rise steeply to the tops of the low-lying Pohatcong Mts.
At 7.8 miles in an open field (L) is a large, stone LIMEKILN, set in the
side of a hill. Used until about 1920, it is still in good condition. Fires '
were built in the two openings at the bottom, and the limestone, carted up
the hill in wagons, was dumped in the brickline holes at the top.
At 12.1 miles is the junction with a macadam road.
