What a great weekend for riding in Central Pa. In addition to the excellent weather, the scenery is at its lush green spring peak.
With two Harley Trikes, a Road King and an Ultra, we assaulted the lower Pocono Mountain region with its great gently twisting highway that wound though some very charming historic coal country towns. Of course, we found some wonderfully friendly home town restaurants where the locals were more than willing to talk and share stories about the area.
One of the highlights was a stop in Jim Thorpe, which boast everything from Train and Coal Museums, to scenic train rides, to wonderfully eclectic shops run by authentic refugees from the Grateful Dead era, selling everything from tie-dyed shirts and headband to a classic VW van and a Karmann Ghia, each sporting the requisite roach clips hanging from the mirror along with Jerry Garcia images and "Legalize Marijuana" window decals.
If you are in the area and looking for an enjoyable and scenic day of riding, don't miss this Lehigh Valley treasure.
