"From Lenhartsville the tourists follow the road to the Blue Rocks in Windsor township, a glacial deposit, a wondertul formation which has attracted the notice of scientists, who have sent classes of students there from several colleges and universities to study this remarkable deposit. The rocks are blue in color, whence the name, and about 10 acres in extent.
From there the road will lead to the State Sanatorium for the
Treatment ot Tuberculosis at Hamburg, where 250 or more patients
are cared for. This is one of the most modern institutions of its
kind in the country. From there the route will lead to Virginsville
and on toward Moselem, where there will be afforded another
striking view of the East Penn Valley, this time in an easterly
direction. The road will lead south along the Ontelaunee, from
which the trail derives its name, to the Evansville cement plant,
one of the East Penn's busy industries."
