Snow Tubing In The Pocono Mountains January 2012 (Day Trips From Delaware County, PA)

If you live in Delaware County PA and enjoy snow, it is very possible for you to escape to the Pocono Mountains for the day to go snow tubing.  The snow-covered slopes in the Pocono's are approximately 100 miles from Delaware County and offer the opportunity for groups of school children, families and friends to escape from it all while enjoying the outdoors on an inner tube in winter. 

We recently were in the Pocono’s and had the opportunity to go snow tubing, something I have never done before.  We were at the Jack Frost/Big Boulder Resort area and enjoyed a few hours taking in the scenery as we kept returning to the top of the slope for more rides down the mountainside in the comfort of an inner tube.

If you decide to make this trip, call 570-443-8425 to check on weather conditions.  Click Here to find out more. Have a great time!  Happy Tubing!

Did you Know Martin Luther King Jr Lived In Chester, Delaware County, PA For Three Years?

Finding out a bit of history about a local area can be rather exciting, as happened with me while trying to find out about this bronze bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. located in a park in Chester, PA. 

What I found out was that Dr. King was a student at Crozier Theological Seminary located just across from Crozier Chester Hospital from September 14, 1948 to May 8, 1951 when he graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Divinity.  From there he went to Boston University where he earned his doctorate degree.

Now back to the this bronze sculpture. 
 

The sculpture is located on Engle Street very close to W 7^th Street and just off of the parking lot of the J. Lewis Crozier Library.  The library’s address is 620 Engle Street, Chester 19013. 

This sculpture is a larger than life bust of Dr. King and well worth seeing first hand. 

For me, knowing this bit of information now puts a different light on Chester and the location near the hospital and gives a special connection to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the person we are honoring today with a national holiday and day of service.

Thank you Steve for raising my awareness about this evolution in the world of the unicycle.

What fun!
