That's a pretty good price!  My great-grandfather was born near there in Mauch Chunk (now named Jim Thorpe) to Irish coal miners. At that time Mauch Chunk was the wealthiest city in America, thanks to high quality anthracite. Most of the family moved to Bethlehem to work in the steel mills; Grandpa Harry joined the army and got the Hell out of there! I have never been there but I hear it's nice. They call the Jim Thorpe area "The Switzerland of America". Pretty grandiose considering the height of the local peaks, but it is considered one of the top mountain-biking areas in the USA. I'd like to visit someday- if only there were a cabin I could stay at...

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.
