A cold weekend in Sullivan County


Well, cabin fever had finally taken it's toll here at Radio Free Schaefferstown. In a effort to cure this Cabin Fever attack, we decided it was time for a get-away trip. So, this past weekend we took the pop-up camper out of its winter rest and headed north. After about 2 to 3 seconds of discussion, it was detected that World's End State Park in Sullivan County would be the destination. (World's End is one of the few State Parks to keep it's camp ground open all year.)
On Saturday morning we awoke to a surprise...snow! OK, so snow in Sullivan County shouldn't be a surprise, but it was cool, non-the-less.
On Sunday we discovered that the camper needed a bit of repair, never underestimate the value of a good multi-tool!
Monday morning the temperature was 20 degrees at 7:30 and had only warmed to the low 30s when we were packing up to leave. All things considered, an interesting, if chilly, trip. The camper's heater and good L.L. Bean sleeping bags kept us toasty during the cold nights.
Since we didn't feel like cooking, we are now able to recommend all the restaurants between Forksville and Dushore as fine eating establishments, including The Forksville General Store, Molyneux's Diner, The Jolly Trolley in Dushore, and Pam's, also in Dushore. We needed to support the local economy, after all.
