Old Geezer Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 There's only one populated place in PA named Danville, and it's in Montour county. Thought you might be correct on a technicality, until I checked a US Geological Survey list. USGS lists Blue Mountain, the mountain range, as being located in 11 PA counties, (Dauphin, Franklin, Perry, Cumberland, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Berks, Lehigh, Carbon, Monroe and Northampton). And it's also known as Kekaghtenemin Mountain, Kittatinhy Mountain, Kittatinny Mountain and North Mountain. The most used is Kittatinny Mountain. So, is there another Danville no one knows about or what? Quote
toast21602 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 i'm not sure what the point of this post is.... Quote
Old Geezer Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Neither am I. But it was a chance to look up some USGS information. Quote
stever2003 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 It's actually Danielsville, not Danville. It is one of the two towns you drive through on Blue Mt. Drive if you turn off of Rt 145. Last year on the conditions page, they had the small weather thing at the bottom set to Danielsville. Now it's Palmerton. I always check the weather for Danielsville, not Palmerton, because it is closer to the mountain. Quote
snorovr Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 I always check the weather for Danielsville, not Palmerton, because it is closer to the mountain. The weather for Palmerton is usually a little closer to what conditions at Blue are like since it is on the same side of the mountain. The weather on that other side can sometimes be totally different. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 i'm glad we are having an arguement about where Blue Mountain is located. Quote
tretiak Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 didnt we have an arguement over this like last year? Quote
skifreak Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 didnt we have an arguement over this like last year? Yes we did. It was because someone brought up that the blue forum had blue listed in the wrong location. It originally said that it was located in Danielsville, but then it was changed to Palmerton because thats where the mailing address is. Quote
method9455 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 Well based on the weather so far this year, I think it might actually be located in or around Washington D.C. Quote
Justo8484 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 mailing address is palmerton, carbon county, lower smithfield township i think? Quote
bigdaddyk Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 Danville. So what now? I was going to say, I grew up and lived in Danville, PA for 24 years, and the only mountains there are part of the Appalachians. I never recalled Blue Mt. being there, unless if plate tech tonics moved it . Quote
insomniac Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Posted January 11, 2007 My fault man, I meant danielsville, but was going off of my shotty memory.. Quote
