I'm not sure that I can get in yet, I just decided here at the last minute to get it together.

Ok, I made it camping last weekend and no it wasn't Tionesta. However I met with a client today rebuilding a burnt out gas station in Tionesta and I did spy a HiLo living on Rt. 66, I think it was just North of Snydersburg. Anybody from the forum?!

Their are two Hi-Lo's in that area. The one you saw and there is or was one just south of the light in Leeper. I don't know either of the owners. My Hi-Lo dealer friend may know them. I will have to ask when I go to babysit his shop this Friday while he is in Somerset cleaning out the remains of the Coleman factory. RIP Coleman

Now that sounds like fun!
Is he buying up what is left? I know that they had some auctions, I live about 10 miles away from the Aliner factory and a buddy works there and he told me that they bought up alot of stuff. He said that the Somerset factory was huge.
I haven't been there and I live relatively close. How was the camping weekend?

Yes, he was also a Coleman dealer. He got the double whammy when both Coleman and HiLo shut down, they were his main products. His mission is to get his repair parts inventory stocked up to continue servicing Coleman for as long as possible.

Camping has been good, in fact, we came home for a day to get restocked and are heading back today to spend the rest of the week.
