Walter Zolna just put out a video documenting this forest that I never knew about before, and now I am binging on the Cook State Forest, and lo and behold, your video pops up. Very informative and timely information! Thanks for sharing!
this one was a fun one and well worth the drive, loved learning it. Glad you liked it! There's parts i didnt get to but I hope you make your way up there with your channel

We live in Beaver County. Cook Forest and the National Forest are our favorite destinations for a weekend drive. We go often, so much so we are practically regulars at Cougar Bob's, the Blue Jay Inn and the Knotty Pine. We've been seriously considering a small getaway cabin just to better be able to relax and soak it all in. I used to camp a lot, but these days my 55 year old body doesn't take to sleeping on the ground in a tent any longer.y doesn't take to sleeping on the ground in a tent any longer and the convertible we prefer to go in doesn't have room for so much as a grocery bag let alone a tent when the roof is stowed in the trunk. I have been out West. The PA Wilds more than equals the natural beauty of places like Yellowstone.
I can acknowledge that we have nothing that truly compares to the Grand Canyon or Joshua Tree National Parks here. But, we have our own uniqueness and beauty that the West does not. Plus its a lot easier and less expensive to get to. Hope you manage to make your getaway cabin a reality. Beauty at every turn in that area, and I am quite jealous of those who get to see it more often than I. Thanks for watching! HOpe oyu enjoyed!
@@keystonecuriosity I have been to the Grand Canyon (North Rim) and I will say that each are stunning in their own unique way and I urge anyone that going West is the trip of a lifetime that will change you for the better. That does not mean, however that we do not have some stunning things to see East of the Mississippi, and the PA Wilds are near the top of the list.
I've been itching to do Ft Necessity and Jumonville Glen since I started the channel. I'm not well acquainted with Ft Ligonier but that's going to have to change. Thanks for the suggestion!
Grew up Pa. The people backwards and nasty. I even go out of my way to avoid traveling through. Lol. Dubois and Brockway. RUN so you don't become tainted.
It's really a shame you are drawing attention to these places. I have been going here for decades there is already enough people. Cook forest doesn't need more people or this video to shown it off.
Beautiful place
WoW what a great story, you told it so well.
Thank you so much im so glad i found your channel.
Thank you again
I was just starting to ponder deeply about what an "old growth forest" could be when you ceremoniously asked the question, and I said "goody"!
Hey great minds think alike. While researching I was wondering the same thing and figured others would as well.
Damn tree hugger lol loved that little clip at the end

At the end of the day, The world is a beautiful place for those who take the time to find it.@@currentsitguy
@@keystonecuriosity As I age I find there is nothing people can make or build that impresses me like nature.
This will go on my bucket list. I need a nice place to stay.
Great work! I was just here last summer for the first time. Love this area of the state.
I could get lost in the woods of the Allegheny and never regret the choice to do so. Glad you like it Thanks for watching!
@@keystonecuriosity same here.
I'd like to see something on Forts Ligonier and Necessity.
I've been itching to do Ft Necessity and Jumonville Glen since I started the channel. I'm not well acquainted with Ft Ligonier but that's going to have to change. Thanks for the suggestion!
❤love this
Nice
Thanks, I'll add that to my Allegheny trip list
Depending on where you start from and where you go theres a lot of cool stuff up that way. Glad you enjoyed!
Please dont
@@jacobpoucher tourists coming to see the forest will only be another reason to keep it instead of cutting it down
Great video! New Subscriber here!
Glad you liked it! Happy to see others getting out and enjoying the beauty we have here as well, Hope to see you on the trail at some point!

California doesn't allow people to come in and harvest the down trees for fire wood, this leaves huge amounts of fuel for the fires.
It's really a shame you are drawing attention to these places. I have been going here for decades there is already enough people. Cook forest doesn't need more people or this video to shown it off.
I'm curious what makes a man think to hold the beauty of the world to a select few.
You mean like the Sierra Club?
@@Scott-zm8ei Or like the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club.
God didn't intend for the beauty of this world to shared with only a few..
@@tedlieb4928 yea he did actually
