There are more, and same of them I can't tell, but another: How they used to get to camp.
The oldtimers would wait for the train in Homewood and it would take them and their gear up to Sinnamahoning and drop them off. Years previously that had cut a path up over the mountain for a couple miles to the flats. Then a couple more across the top, then a mile or so down into camp. Every year the path needed cleared of downed trees and chain saws had yet to be invented. The State owned the land and could care less.
A farmer would meet them in Sinnamahoning with a wagon team of mules and they would load up their gear and make the ride into camp. Two weeks later he would ride into camp, they would load up again for the trip back to Sinnamahoning and wait along the tracks for the train to come and take them home.
A trip to camp during small game or for fishing was a repeat.
