For those who need/want to keep in touch while in the boonies, you might consider a signal booster. I get zero, maybe one bar out in the mountains at the hunting cabin. But with the booster I'll get 3-4 bars and my iPhone works as normal with Verizon. I also bought the 12V power supply and unit works equally well in weak areas while in the vehicle or on the ATV. I have no affiliation with Wilson.

I agree Rich. It will be refreshing not to here cell phones ring all day. I know mine went off a lot at Drakes on Thurs, but thats' cause it was my birthday. Should have left it in the truck!

Harold, Do you get on the the PA turnpike to Harrisburg then north on rt. 81 or is there a better way to get there? Oh, by the way, if we happen to shoot together not to worry, you will look good!

Boy, there is no straight shot, or easy way there.
I go I 70 to New Stanton and take a short toll connector to RT 22( the same one that runs thru Cambridge), and then 22 to hit I99 just south of Altoona--then 99 t0 I 80 and from there , I cant remember all the twists and turns.

For those coming from the south and planning to use I-81N from Wilkes Barre thru and past the Scranton area ..... there's a lot of road/bridge reconstruction going on in that section of about 20 or more miles. This morning the TV news reported a 3 mile long backup in one section. You might consider getting off I-81 at Wilkes Barre and using an alternate route to Hidden Hollow or to the Parker hooch in Vestal NY. Sorry I won't make any suggestions for alternate routes; I did that a couple of times in the past and it didn't work out with some gents. Nuff said. If were doing it I'd try using Mapquest and "stretch" the map route north of Wilkes Barre to find alternates on the state highways.

Thanks for the heads up on I-81, I was kinda thinking of that route, about 80 miles longer but I think less drive time. Back to plan B I guess, just have to figure out what plan B is.
