I am sending you to a dream vacation in the beautiful island of Jamaica. I hope that you enjoy your time there. I went to Montego Bay, Jamaica on the honeymoon. I enjoyed my time there. Have you ever been there?
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Jamaica and that you have a safe trip home!
State Motto is “Virtue, Liberty, and Independence†“We are known as The Keystone Stateâ€
The State Bird is Ruffed Grouse The State Tree is Hemlock

Aerial Photo of Minersville – where I live Population in 2015 roughly 4,500 We are an eight Red Light town!!
Minersville was settled in 1783 a settler by the name of Thomas Reed.. Settlers engaged in timbering as their first livelihood, but experienced difficulty in transporting the heavy logs out of the valley, In 1814 actual mining took place due to the completion of the Schuylkill Haven and Mine Hill Railroad that provided the means to transport the coal produced in the region
Photo of the St Nicholas Coal Breaker still in operation today
The Oldest Operating Brewery –Yuenglings - in the USA is located in Pottsville – 4 miles from Minersville
It boasts an unmatched record of continuous operation since 1829 and the longest uninterrupted history of management by a single family in the country.

The following is a series of pictures that show some of the places in the State of New Hampshire that are beautiful and most of them are very local to me. I will tell you a bit about each one, and how close they are to my actual house.
This is Diana's Bath. A waterfall about 7 miles or so from my house.
This is Cranmore, where modern day skiing was popularized by Hannes Schneider, and also was one of the first ski mountains to have a motorized lift system in place. This pic is taken from the train station (see below) and is about 2 miles from my house, as you drive.
This is the Conway Scenic Railroad. This train was one of the first in the nation to incorporate the Polar Express into an interactive story-ride. The station is only about a mile or so from my house, but the tracks roll about a quarter mile, and I hear the whistles many times a day.
The below pic is of the local amusement park, StoryLand. Most of us locals cut our baby teeth on rides at this park. My grandfather actually helped to build the very first motor for the Pirate Ship ride (see 2nd pic). He lived on the coast of Maine for his whole life so its neat to bring my grandbabies here and tell them how their great-great grand pappie helped make the ride. The park is only about 10 minutes from my house.
This last picture is of Mount Washington taken from the road in front of the train station. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the base, and is one of the most popular places in the state for hikers. People come from around the world to challenge themselves on Tuckerman's Ravine.
