Crossing my fingers for ya' ............Moscow, great.......close to Scranton and all the action there. But, a nice charming, peaceful place!!
It has to work or you would have to change that name back to "Georgia Staying" ........

I hope all goes well for you! I am not sure about the June 21st thing. I know that I will be at Tunkhannock Founder's Day on the 21st! Anybody going to that?

Thanks Summering and everyone. We shall see.

As a retail warrior I undoubtedly have to work every Saturday and Sunday without respite (hence why I've been reluctant to make any sort of solid plans myself), but if you folks would all like to take a trek up to Tunkhannock for their Founders' Day Celebration I'm sure you won't be disappointed with all that Wyoming County has to offer.

Georgia, Mt. Cobb is an absolutely wonderful area. I'm in the Mt. Cobb/Hamlin area on a weekly basis to visit my better half, and I absolutely love the drive between Scranton and Hamlin Corners. In the Mt. Cobb area you'll find Ritter's Cider Mill, The Shake Place, Butler's Furniture, and a few other points of interest. Nearer to Hamlin, which is just a few miles east of Mt. Cobb, you'll find Shaffer's Do-It-Best Hardware Store, Weis Market, Mr. Z's Supermarket, Kundla's Barbecue (awesome!), several banks, gas stations, a KFC, Taco Bell, McDonald's, and a few other conveniences. Just a few miles north of Hamlin in Lake Ariel you'll find Kay's Restaurant, which my partner and I have grown to love. I have a soft spot in my heart for that place because earlier this year when our waitress, whom I also believe was the owner, asked us if we had left room for dessert, I replied "Actually we were saving room to buy two of those frosted cookies we saw when we came in." Unbelievably when we went to pay our bill up front she gave us each a cookie for free! I NEVER get anything for free, and this woman's simple act of kindness that may have cost her just $1 turned me into a loyal patron. Say what you will about rural areas, but Wayne County's residents truly are second to none!

Yeah. There really wasn't too much discussion. 'Course, you can have too much discussion and never get anything off the ground. There's no way to accommodate every individual.

I'm the one who came of with the June 21st date to try to get the ball rollin'.

I suggest a small group of us who are really interested get together and make the plans. Then whomever is able and wants to attend is welcome.

It's kinda difficult to do it here on an open forum unless one person takes charge and organizes it. I just don't know enough about the geographic area to make decisions on my own.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but my summer calendar is really full at this point. I know I now have a house full of company coming that June 21sth weekend.

Anyone interested in forming a small, quick meet 'committee' to make some plans? We could probably do it on line as well...in DMs or the new friends system.
