There is a beautiful little picnic area in the middle of State Forest Lands in North Central Pennsylvania where two mountain streams come together. this area has always been known to the Locals as “The Asaph”. I don’t know for sure, but I have always suspected that the name was derived from a person in the Old Testament descended from the tribe of Levi who was a music director during King David’s reign. Asaph is also mentioned as the “Keeper of the King’s Woods”. This has always been a special place to our family as we spent many summer days there. But getting there in February can be a very difficult task. There is generally 2 inches of ice under the snow that doesn’t melt off until late April or early May on narrow dirt roads that are not maintained in winter. On this day the only tracks in the snow, besides ours, were animal tracks, but it was well worth the trip.
