located in Jockey Hollow Park, Morris County: from 287 via exit 30B
turn right on 202N and follow brownsigns; from Rt24 Mendham via Tempe
Wick Rd.
Moderate steep 3 mileloop,allow 3 hours.

Obtain trail map and Morristown map at the visitor center[there is a
fee] to locate Starks Brigade site on the blue trail named Mt. Kemble
Loop

Park at the Trail Center parking lot and pick up the blue trail from
there to save some extra footsteps.Along the way make sure at signpost
#17 you follow the blue markers to the right.
When you stumble upon Starks Brigade and enjoy the beautiful view, your
search from there will include a startling discovery. Ascend the slope
behind the Starks monument that reads "Starks Brigade occupied this
slope" {sorry its steep, but its worth it}.
Discover the sacred spot.
Learn from the Jenks.
Follow through the vine that intertwines life and death.
Look up to the tree with a high mushroom at 320 degrees.
Take 25 paces and search its base.
