Don't remember much. It was in the mid/late 50's. Special trip from Carlisle.Edit add on- I do remember the ditty " Tionesta- land of broken dreams - Burn't down fields - polluted mountain streams - and when the rain comes pouring down in teams - makes a scout just want to scream". Strange what sticks in the memory and what doesn't.

I think you have the wrong place stuck in your memory. our streams are far from being polluted they are well stocked with fish, and there are not many fields to be burnt. we are mostly large forest area. Carlisle is pretty far from here.

The ditty was made up by homesick boys killing time around the campfire. Our conversation did cause me to take a sentimental trip thru cyberspace. Found out the camp was closed in the mid 70's. So I'll just close the book on my scouting days.
