8 Coolest Small Towns in the Poconos for a Summer Vacation

Luxurious resorts, watersports, and delicious food are topics that come to mind when someone mentions the Poconos. The Pocono Mountains, commonly referred to as the Poconos is a geological, geographical, and unique cultural region in Northeastern Pennsylvania. These majestic mountains overlook the beautiful Delaware River and Delaware Water Gap to the east. With the enchanting Lake Wallenpaupack to the north of the mountains, the Wyoming Valley and the Coal Region are to the west, and the gorgeous Lehigh Valley to the south.

The fascinating name; Pocono is derived from the local indigenous Munsee word Pokawachne, which means “Creek Between Two Hills.” The Munsee peoples originally occupied the beautiful headwaters of the Delaware River in present-day New Jersey, New York, as well as the Pennsylvania region. This extended all the way south to the substantial Lehigh River, as well as holding the west bank of the Hudson River from the famous Catskill Mountains close to the New Jersey line. Today, the Poconos is a popular region for tourism, especially among New Yorkers searching for a weekend getaway or a summer vacation in the beauty of nature.

An oasis for exploration and active outdoor excursions, Ohio’s Mohican State Park should be on the list of places to visit for any visitor to the Buckeye State. Located just 60 miles southwest of Akron—and 80 miles from Cleveland—the park offers a tranquil escape from those bustling urban settings. But if you’re in the mood for an adventure, you’ll find plenty to love here too.

The state park covers a little more than 1,100 acres but packs more into that space than most other outdoor destinations twice its size. Visitors will be awestruck by the rolling landscapes, which include the beautiful and dramatic Clear Fork Gorge. This amazing location stretches a thousand feet across and 300 feet high, creating towering vantage points for surveying the area. Visitors will also discover dense hemlock forests situated along the Mohican River, creating a gorgeous setting all year long, but is especially colorful in the fall.

If you love nature and outdoor adventure—and are planning a trip to Ohio—Mohican State Park deserves a spot on your list of places to visit. Here is everything you need to know before you go.

Two Six Nations based athletes help Buffalo Bandits secure NLL Final

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Buffalo Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre, where they secured the final 13-4 over the Colorado Mammoth. With Tehoka Nanticoke and Adam Bomberry of Six Nations included, the franchise earned its first final in 15 years. Photo courtesy of the NLL Facebook page.

By TRT Staff with notes from NLL.com

BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Bandits quest for their first league title since 2008 continued on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m., in Buffalo’s Keybank Centre.

One year ago, nearly the same NLL Final scenario played out at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, with the outcome of 2022’s 15-14 Bandits Game 1 triumph looking mighty similar to this year’s 2023 finals opening act.

Colorado took care of business on their home floor for Game 2 in 2022 as well, winning 11-8 before heading back to Banditland for the Game 3 series clincher. This year, the Mammoth took nearly the same win, 16-10 in their home arena.

But on Saturday night, after 15 long years, Buffalo secured their spot as 2023 NLL Final champions after a strong win of 13-4 over Colorado.

“Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) would like to congratulate Tehoka Nanticoke, Adam Bomberry and the Buffalo Bandits on capturing the National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship,” wrote the SNGR Facebook page.

Nanticoke broke game scoring with the first goal from Josh Bryne, then proceeded to earn multiple assists throughout the remaining game time.

“Congratulations to Tehoka, Adam and the Buffalo Bandits,” Chief Mark B. Hill said. “Adam and Tehoka are tremendous individuals, and I couldn’t be happier for them. What they do on and off the floor is amazing…

Alex Liu: the youngest person to ever finish the Mohican MTB100k

Editor’s Note

This feature originally published on Cycotherapy, a newsletter written and published by Dillon Carr.

It’s right around 50 miles into the Mohican MTB100k. I’m doing well, feeling strong. Stonger than last year, at least. The temperature outside is about as hot as it’s going to get — 68 degrees — and I can almost taste the finish line. I’m making good time. I keep wondering how much time I’ll have shaved from last year.

Couple minutes later, I’m pedaling up a hill. It’s a gravel road and, on a normal riding day, not too steep. Doable. But today, I get about a third of the way up and I gotta dismount. Walk. I know I have a few more steeper climbs ahead of me that I’d like to save the energy for. Because, for the last three miles or so, pavement. I wanna hammer there to finish strong.

When I started this particular hill, I was the only one on it. When I get off to hike it, I look to my left and I see a kid. He’s on a titanium Lightspeed hardtail. Little dude’s hammering. I mean, really cranking. He doesn’t look at me; his laser eyes searching for the crest.

Later on, as I finish climbing yet another brutal hill — this time in the woods — I see him off the trail looking at the back of his bike with another fatigued racer.

“The disk brake is jammed. Something’s lodged in there.”

I’m troubled. Do I keep my head down and let the other guy help the kid? I mean, I’m almost there. How much time can I shave off? Can I afford to help these guys? It looks like the other, older racer can figure it out.

“Hm, mind if I take a look?” I say. Guess I’m stopping.

I…

Godsmack Rocks Mohegan Sun Arena on Final Stop of Best of Times World Tour

For the final stop on their Best of Times World Tour, Godsmack takes on Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena. Being from the Boston area, this show is the closest to a hometown show the band has gotten on this tour. Frontman Sully Erna even mentioned that many of his family members were out in the crowd.

These Alternative Metal giants released a new album back in February entitled Lighting Up The Sky. After almost five years since their previous release, the band returned kicking and screaming with their eighth studio album and subsequent world tour.

After the brief break following the Austin Meade set, the audience returned, beers in hand, as the lights went down. A mashup of classic hard rock tunes began to play as blue and red lights flashed throughout the packed arena.

The curtain in front of the stage dropped, and the audience cheered… until they realised there was still another curtain separating them from the start of the show. Finally, the final curtain fell, and we were off to the races with Godsmack.Godsmack - Mohegan Sun Arena - 28 May 2023Godsmack - Mohegan Sun Arena - 28 May 2023Godsmack – Mohegan Sun Arena – 28 May 2023.

“Alright, Mohegan,” yells frontman Sully Erna as drums begin to pound. Godsmack has quite the light show, and this first song, When Legends Rise, was only a fraction of what was to come for the rest of the…
