We then head over to Little York where we climb up Sweet Hollow Road descend into Asbury. At Asbury, we follow the Musconetcong River north to Port Murray where we head over the ridge to the Great Meadows controle . The route continues to points north to Allamuchy, Tranquility and into the Lafayette Quick Chek.
