When I read through the book,I am reminded of how much time our guys spent up at camp. Some years, it was just about every weekend through the summer. And this was before Interstate 80 went through. Anyone journeying to camp from North East Ohio, which is where our guys were from, had a 4 1/2 hour drive on surface roads through the heart of Central Pa. to get to camp. Deer season for us always opens on the the Monday after Thanksgiving. The trip to camp on the Friday after Thanksgiving was commonly about a 6 hour drive. All the little towns along the way were chocked with traffic, as the Orange Army headed east to their cabins. Sometimes getting through Clarion was a real adventure. Every bar, every general store, every gun shop would be packed, as guys prepared for Monday morning.
Holy Cow! I'm pretty sure it was Clarion that I stayed at for that week I worked in Brookville! That is so cool that I can picture the beautiful country that you hunted. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen.
