Traveling Pennsylvania - The Town of Jim Thorpe

Yes we tried to see it all and I found a town which I must return to the town of Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania to visit it's many recreations like White water Rafting, roller coaster train riding, and old town roaming. This place was a blast.

It was actually an 1818 burro called Mauch Chunk possibly a reference to Bear Mountain, an extension of Mauch Chunk Ridge that resembled a sleeping bear yet has changed by 220 years of coal mining.

When the widow of Jim Thope found out the state of Oklahoma would no long fund a memorial to Jim Thorpe she approached the boroughs of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk and reached an agreement which included changing the name of the town and having his remains moved from Oklahoma (with the dirt) and the town has commemorated this great athlete keeping the story alive.

Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete of the 20th Century and probably to date. This is the gateway to the Poconos mountains.

FACT: The large brick mansion in the video is where Florida's Haunted Mansion was design from. Don't use the D word... Boycott D....
