We stayed at the town of Jim Thorpe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Thorpe,_Pennsylvania which we chanced upon and was fantastic; listed in the “10 coolest small towns in America”. It has, a disused rail line to walk on, a preserved railway to ride on, a great restaurant to eat in – Moya, and a lot of history [Molly Maguires, Conan Doyle's Valley of Fear]. The whole renaming of the town from Mau Chunk to Jim Thorpe is a bizarre tale of opportunism that is not finished yet. The hotel was a great old fashioned place on main street, complete with grumpy waitresses – perfect.
