This was a very nice surprise. Traveling through coal country was a little depressing and we needed a little pick-me-up. Brush Creek Falls was the answer. Go in the morning as the lighting is much better for photos.. It is a real easy walk to the falls. Just watch the rocks and roots.
We hiked on down the creek almost 2 miles. This is one beautiful creek. If you're in the area, don't miss this one.

The museum is a place you have to stop and visit when you are in the area. You can explore the caboose outside which the kids loved. The museum is full of local history. They have a small gift shop filled with unique souvenirs. Also, the ladies their are absolutely wonderful. Put Princeton Railroad Museum on the list of places to visit .Be sure to ask to hear the story about the crow!!

As an escape room junkie (I try to go whenever and wherever I can!) Room #117
Review for the Captain's Cabin Room.
Theme: Pirate
Difficulty: Not too rough. It was just me and I almost made it.
Price: $18 (30% cheaper than the standard $25)
Notes: The game-master watches closely so the hints when needed are spot on. The room itself is not that high tech, but the puzzles are all pirate themed and the game itself has a nice flow. Overall, I had a LOT of fun! If you've never done an escape room before, this is good one to kick it off!
The company: The owners are really nice and very accommodating! 2nd room being built & I WILL be back.

We were very surprised about the history of Hershey and how the school started. Many other buildings and places in Hershey, PA have been built by the magnate. The guides were very informative and knowledgeable about the entire school. The grounds were very well maintained and cared for. There was a lot of acreage with houses and homes that were established for student residence under the oversight of house parents. This site beats going to the Hershey factory which i heard takes you through a replica of the real factory. There is also a tram tour that explains the history of the city from its beginning.( costly)

Not your typical pawn shop but rather a high-end place. Have bought several pieces of nice jewelry here and also some hard-to-find coins. Lots of items, new and used, ranging from large sofa size pictures to glass, jewelry, coins. Have never had a bad experience but I hear the store is under new management. I always dealt with the manager; Kristen, and she was pleasant as well as helpful and professional.
