We’re in the Poconos, a region we’ve never before explored. We thought we’d go for a drive to get a feel for the area and also do a WalMart stop. We chose the Greentown Road, hardly discernible on the Maps app, as our route from the northern part of the state park to the nearby village of Greentown. It’s a one lane two-way road through beautiful green woods. The only other car we encountered pulled out in front of us and headed in the direction we were going, leaving us behind in a cloud of dust. We believe that the WalMart trucks must choose a different route for their deliveries! Ya think?
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Pocono mountain area is beautiful. You will enjoy your exploration. You may encounter honeymooners just beginning their lives together! Don’t forget to pass along some “long married” advice. Lol
We’re seeing a lot of cabins in the woods and RV campsites serving as weekend getaways for city dwellers. We found this article interesting:

Wow. What a shame that the resorts are no longer in demand and in ruins. Time changes so much.
Want to go there, maybe next year it will be on our radar.
