HOW TO WRITE A BLOG POST FROM SUSQUEHANNOCK STATE FOREST

Susquehannock State Forest is in central Pennsylvania, along the northern border, just south of New York state.

Susquehannock State Forest is located in Potter County God’s Country, with a few tracts of forest stretching into nearby McKean and Clinton counties.

Susquehannock State Forest contains 262,000 acres of woodlands and 89 miles of hiking trails.

Susquehannock State Forest was named after the Susquehannock tribe of Native Americans whom lived along the Susquehanna river.

Susquehannock, adapted from the Algonquian name, means ‘people of the muddy river.’

There are no cellular towers in Susquehannock State Forest. There are no wi-fi hot spots or internet cafes. So how do you write a blog post from Susquehannock State Forest?

With a pen and paper.

They used to call it writing a letter.

We just spent the better part of four days in Susquehannock State Forest, nine miles deep in the woods and even further from any semblance of civilization.

We drank beer. We ate red meat. We shot guns. We filmed a music video. We played music on the camp porch. We watched the sun set over the Lushbaugh. We sat around the fire pit and listened to the old men tell railroad stories and redneck jokes. We lost track of the days of the week.

All was good.

Now it’s back to the city, back to the grind, and back to the editing table. As the music video period piece for Catfish Breakfast begins to take shape, a few snapshots from our woodland weekend can be seen below.
