I am in a motel room outside of Scranton, PA. Spent last night at a truck stop outside of Saratoga Springs, NY. Lovely ride through the Catskills into the Poconos today. First snow of the season in most places and just beautiful frosting all over. The whole northeast Appalachian chain is really terrific. From Whites, to Greens, to Berkshires, to Catskills, to Poconos. Drove into Honesdale, PA where I found a natural foods cafe and deli and had a good healthy lunch.
Decided to visit the camp I went to when I was a child. People wonder why I am as independent and resourceful as I am and I think that much of it stems from me going to Snow Hill Camp in Lake Como, PA. It was an 8 week sleep away camp that I first went to when I was 5 years old! Went there for many years. The only thing I couldn't learn to do was swim! I was a real nature boy catching snakes, fish, preying mantises, salamanders, frogs, etc. Hiked, camped, rode horses, did it all, but could not learn to swim and to this day I don't.
As I post this, Ozzy is asleep on a real bed. I paid an extra $10 for him. I just took a hot shower and am going to just enjoy being off the road and out of the van for the rest of the day.
Hi, I stayed at Snow Hill Camp in maybe 1950, around age 6. A great experience but dim memory of nearly 70 years ago! I'm trying to reconstruct that time. Does the camp still exist? (I think not; not much online.) Do you have any info on the camp or its exact location? Thanks! --Fred Schroyer, Waynesburg, PA ibfreditor@gmail.com
