i spent half of my life living in the poconos and the other half living in new york city. what a contrasting experience! i didn’t care for PA too much, but it DOES GROW ON YOU. things i’ve heard from plenty of people. its pretty in all the seasons. but i’ve had a hard time finding things to do. if you are into sports and nature, its great cuz of the winter sports and the fields for high school soccer and football, hunting… things like that. but i’m not really into any of that. but i sure do like to climb a nice tree and read a book, or listen to the birds and watch ducks in the little ponds and lakes and the deer…. everywhere.
