New Year Challenge-- XXI Heading to the top for a visit to Highlands and Atlantic Highlands

Off we go on another visit to two towns in Monmouth County. This a continuation project of taking a look at visiting Monmouth County as being one of your resolutions or challenges. It is my challenge to you to see if you can visit all 53 municipalities of Monmouth County in the year 2014.

It's up to you how you want to do this.  You will find a complete list at BizEturtle: Monmouth County Municipalities.See if you can get a picture of yourself and the mayor or a town official  and send it to me. I'll post it up here. Mail to lynn@bizeturtle.comYou must be in the town and not one of
the sections. For added excitement see if you can visit all the sections. 
This adds on around 58 more places to visit. For more information about Monmouth County History, Check out my page of Museums & Historical Societies.
