2nd Annual LVPC Scavenger Hunt---This year in Jim Thorpe, PA 05/17/09

[bellamia]

I found out the hard way that it is not open on Wednesdays.   I would check to see what days it is open and the hours.  Tony wasn't interested in visiting the jail, or at least not on Sunday, so I thought I would check it out on my own.  There were a lot of businesses not open yesterday.  I think some of them only open for the weekend.  There must be big plans for Memorial Weekend though as there were people out doing maintenance everywhere.








These are just some of the hardworkers I saw as I walked around Jim Thorpe.  No wonder it looks so beautiful.




This is the van of a hardworking Democrat, who was handing out flyers for the election nearby.


The last picture has nothing to do with work except for the fact that it is located on the front wall of a tattoo parlor on West Broadway and probably attracts a lot of admirers.

Love the pony-tail on the guy in #2!  I haven't seen one of those THAT length since the 70's!  LOL>

These are great, Rhonda!

Lee, You should see my photography buddy Carl...6'5" and his tail is to his waist!! 
He hasn't cut his hair since HS.

LOL!!  Deron's hair was that long until his wife died and he cut it off for Locks of Love.  He's 6'4" so it was pretty long too.  He said now that he is older (and grayer!) he wants to keep it shorter.
I know one day my long hair is going to have to go too  But I don't think Locks of Love will take it with 20 years of hair dye abuse!!
LOL!!

I have to be honest.  The ponytail is what first caught my attention.  I like how he had it separated by little bands all the way down.

[tjdelikat]

That's how my buddy does his too so he doesn't lose it in machinery at work.
What was the guy doing in the photo below that?

BTW, Jeff looks like he was enjoying watching all of you scatter around following
his clues while he took a well-deserved coffee break.

The guy below him was sanding the woodwork leaning out the window of a second floor window or possibly a third floor window because he looked like he was up pretty high.  I got nervous just watching him as I am afraid of heights and he was leaning out pretty far.

Thanks for all your time and effort putting this hunt together Jeff.  You did an outstanding job and I enjoyed participating in it.

Here is a link to some other pictures that I took while in Jim Thorpe including the jail.

Nice job on the photos everyone! it's a picturesque town for sure....except for the air conditioners in the courthouse windows. 

[peachhead]

But I'll bet those courthouse workers sure like the ACs in the courthouse windows!!  LOL!!!

Reggie,
Great shot of the dungeon.I too was at the jail but was unable to shoot the dungeon.  My camera just couldn't adjust to the lighting conditions I think or......maybe the spirits did not want me filming there LOL.
