Former Honeymoon Capital of the World is now eerily abandoned

quote [ For honeymooners nothing was more romantic than the Pocono Mountains, in northeastern Pennsylvania. Now it's the Former Honeymoon Capital of the World as the resorts sit abandoned. ]

I remember people getting married, and talking about going to the Poconos on their honeymoons, and all I could think was "WHY?"

Did find it interesting that Eric Frein was holed-up there for a spell in the abandoned resorts. They currently all have the charm and ambiance of a row of abandoned meth-cooking trailers in the middle of the Mojave desert.

I would definitely visit the Mojave desert to see the (hopefully) abandoned meth-cooking trailers.

For anyone who does feel the urge to venture out to the Mojave, it always bodes them well to remember you are deep in the heart of Hells Angels territory and to keep that in mind while exploring abandoned trailers.

I forget - who's the "big bad boy" of gangs out in your neck of the woods?

I live in south-east England, so it's the National Ramblers Association. Woe betide any farmer to puts a bull in a field that's crossed by a Legal Right of Way.

I would play the hell out of that game.

Was this the orgy capital of the world for awhile or something? I feel like the pictures aren't telling the whole story.

I think that was Marin County up in northern Cal that held that title for a while

Is there an international commitee to decide such things, and if so, how does one get on it?

I hereby nominate cb361 for Former Honeymoon Capital of the World.

Thanks, but I mis-clicked. It was Orgy Capital of the World I was after.

Still, it's better than nothing... ;-)

You'd hear about honeymoons to the Poconos in old TV shows and movies, and even cartoons, but I don't think I've heard about them at all (nor knew anything about them) in decades.
