So I have a question. How near is this hunting lodge to the forest west of Scranton where this nut job who shot the state troopers is hiding?

the nut that shot the cops is believed to be around Canadensis maybe 40 or 50 miles east of where the meet and greet is to be.coalkirk wrote:So I have a question. How near is this hunting lodge to the forest west of Scranton where this nut job who shot the state troopers is hiding?

Just so it's clear, I'm not going to tell you that you can't bring a gun but I'd prefer they are left in locked vehicles. What is not permitted is shooting guns. That's only because of liability and safety concerns, I just don't want to deal with it.coalkirk wrote:So I don't need to bring an assault rifle then? Just kidding, I know its not permitted.

The "nut job" is VERY close to where I used to live in the Poconos. From where I used to live it was about a 35 minute drive west to get to Scranton. Noxin I would guess is at least another 30 minute drive south west of there. I don't think we will be seeing him!coalkirk wrote:So I have a question.

FYI if you can't find the place go to the Fireplace Gallery and they will be able to give you directions.

No one had any trouble last year, I'll have signs up. The very end is a little off the beaten path.

I think even that nutcase would think twice about hanging out in the woods of noxen overnight .StokerDon wrote:The "nut job" is VERY close to where I used to live in the Poconos.
