JIM THORPE, PA: Stunning Destination in the Lehigh Gorge and Pocono Mountains
Jim Thorpe is the seat of Carbon County, located on the Lehigh River north of Allentown, and at the southern end of the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania. It has a large history with coal and railroads, and is currently a major biking and white river rafting destination. The borough is split into three sections, with downtown, a section up the hill, and a section across the river where Jim Thorpe is buried. It's a long and confusing story about how Jim Thorpe ended up here and how the town was named after him, but it just adds to the mystery of this place. Enjoy!

Part II: Schuylkill Valley Heritage Rail Trail (Middleport to Tamaqua, Pennsylvania USA)
hThis is a 7+ mile bike ride I took on Pennsylvania's Schuylkill Valley Heritage Trail from Middleport to Tamaqua. The first part of this series was the ride from Tamaqua to Middleport, PA. The trail goes over rolling hills through Pennsylvania's Anthracite/ Pocono Mountain Region, paralleling State Route 209 North (to the left). The actual direction of travel in this video is East. Th area to the right of the bike trail is generally forested, with many areas posted NO TRESSPASSING; many of which are old anthracite coal mines. The trail is rough graded with loose gravel. I fell off of my bike several times (not sure which direction I was headed). To improve speed, since I am basically doing Part I in reverse, I rode on State Route 209 at various points. State Route 209 has a very wide (whole lane) shoulder, suitable for bicycling. I went 2-3 times as fast on the state highway, however it was much noisier than the bike trail. The last 1- 1.5 miles is generally downhill and fast as I ride into Tamaqua. I stop by the sign for selfies, before heading to my car. I was supposed to head ho mbv e on September 2, 2019. At the end of the video you will see the accident my vehicle was involved in, which resulted in only minor injuries, but both vehicles were totaled. I ended up having to stay in the are as until 9-4-2019 (day after labor day) to get a rental vehicle to drive home. I had to leave my yellow sea-kayak, which I picked up nearly 3 weeks later with a box truck. I did not get s replacement vehicle until November 2019.
FYI- This trail in located in East Central, PA and not the same as the Schuylkill River Trail (which is better known and located in the Southeast part of PA)
