It seems like forever since the decision to take on this project was made.  I have lived in Carbon County for 12 years and have much pride when it comes to sharing the natural beauty of the mountains.

The question that is always asked is: “What else is there to do?
Do they like Outdoor adventures?  beautiful overlooks with breathtaking rapids?  Maybe shopping the counties’ many quaint shoppes is to their liking.  Restaurants serving hearty and delicious fare without breaking the budget, a real plus when kids are in tow.  And speaking of kids, with activities like a scenic train ride and tubing the Lehigh River, the young ones will have memories that last a lifetime.  Then came the directions, follow Rt. 209 to the bridge, cross over the river, go up the mountain until you see…

And what else is there to do?
Well, a lot.

I was having this conversation with old friends from the city, newcomers at our kids soccer game, and people stopping me in the street while taking my morning walk.  What must it be like for locals who come face to face with visitors and new comers every day? How do they get anything done with needing to answer this question all day. I knew there had to be a better way.
