We attended one of their earlier hunts and it was fantastic. Well organized and met a lot of great people. Seems like it was sometime around the mid 80s.

I was at the Last Few Years they were at Moon Lake.
After that they were up in the Scranton area. Way too Far.
This Past weekend they were in Duryea Sat & Sun. , Just above Wilkes Barre . Unfortunately I Didn't find out till Sunday Afternoon they were at Healy Playground, on Foote ave. if I'm not Mistaken/

The year we went, it was at Moon Lake. Back then we lived near Syracuse so it was a pretty good drive for us, but we enjoy every minute of it though.

Very sad for that Place Last I heard it wasn't being Mowed, & The Bathrooms Were Looted of All Their Copper

That is sad. I can't understand why people don't seem to appreciate anything anymore.
