Loyalsock State Forest — Attraction in Laporte Township

Many roads in the area just west of Hillsgrove were destroyed by the floods on October 21, 2016.

I suspect there was a storm soon before my trip that caused all this damage, I'll have to go back to see if it...

I live in Ga now and this is one place that I think of weekly. I miss it but will be back and never leave again. I plan on having my last meditation along with my last breath at camp site 4 on Bodine mountain. It won’t be long she has sucked the life out of me. I only wish I could take my son Jakob there.
