Harmony Express Skoolie - Ep 36 - FREE Boondocking the Allegheny National Forest 

Thanks for coming along with us!!

Awww! Thank you for the kindness!! Spread the word about the channel so more folks can join in the fun! Really appreciate kind folks like you coming along with us!

We felt that way, too!!!

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie My husband, Bill, and I visited Buttermilk Falls in New Florence, PA this past Sunday afternoon. Friends and family had been there, but we never had. We thought it was about time to experience some of our local treasures! Before returning home to Indiana, PA, we went to Olive Garden in Greensburg and enjoyed Italian food and Watermelon Mascotto Sangrias. Yum. It was a really nice day trip.

That sounds like an awesome tip!

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie we do it every September. It's quite nice. This time was Thursday a.m. to Sunday afternoon. Man's float.

We love it up there and are planning to go back later in the season. My onliest wish for the site that would make it PERFECT would be if there were just a LITTLE bit better cell coverage there. I could then go up there and work for a week at a time.

Thank YOU for watching and commenting!!

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie I'm actually curious how do you solve the wifi problem with your Skoolie? do you use Skyroam?

@@user-yy7tw9hv9n Hi William. This gives me a great idea for a video on this subject. We are using a Visible phone as a hotspot tied to a nano-router for all of our devices. We have a WeBoost that we mount to our roof deck when we dock that helps get cell signal into the bus. It boosts a weak signal into something usable. That being said, when we are in state parks or in the forest, the signal is definitely WEAK. Also, the towers out in the rural lands don't have the fastest internet connection, so even with a booster, we get SLOW internet.

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie Enough for surfing?

@@user-yy7tw9hv9n It really depends on location. In the ANF, where we were, we were about 6 miles away from a tower, so the WeBoost helped get us some surfing. In Cook Forest, the tower situation is NOT good, so even though we were able to connect to a tower, the internet coverage was not good. It is difficult because you really want to get out into nature and unwind, but those locations are pretty light in cell coverage.

It sure was a ton of fun! And THANK you guys again for the tour video. Just opened up our channel all over again. Really appreciate your friendship, guys!

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie 🥰oh for sure! I’m glad to hear the video could benefit y’all. It’s a pleasure to call y’all friends! And it’s super awesome to learn that there IS boondocking available in the east 👌🏼

@@parishskoolie yep! It’s definitely out here!

Thanks for coming along!!

You should check out Guenther's channel linked on this page. He's a wealth of information for sure. Boondocking is FUN and it's great to have it in our arsenal of ways to camp!!

@@HarmonyExpressSkoolie I subbed yesterday and I'll catch up on his videos.

Hi Adam. If you take PA 66 north into Marienville, you take a right at the University Corner gas station and that is called Lamonaville Road. That road becomes Forest Service Road 130. Once the road becomes FR 130, there are several open areas to camp before you get to the small bridge over Pigeon Run.

Most definitely.

Thanks for the kind comments, Michael! We love the Allegheny National Forest! Lots of fun places here in Pennsylvania. Where are you from in the Adirondacks? That’s an area that we’d love to explore!
