What is it that makes a state park special? It's a question I've asked my self countless times since I began exploring Pennsylvania's public lands in 2021. For some it's deep, meaningful history to indigenous cultures, to early settlers or even to industry. For others its beautiful features like waterfalls, old growth forests and scenic vistas. And for many it's the landscapes that allow them to hike, bike, paddle, birdwatch, hunt, fish and more.For me, I've found that parks I deem special share a lot of these components. I want some history. I want something beautiful to look at. And I want a park that provides me with the opportunity to explore and discover. One of those places for me is Salt Springs State Park. Located less than 10 miles from the New York border, Salt Springs State Park is special. Now, I can't guarantee YOU will find it special, but I think it's pretty damn cool.Here's a quick list of some of thing things I think are special that we'll delve further into this episode. It's got an old growth forest, three waterfalls, meadows, historic buildings, pre-colonial and early-American history, fascinatin geology, hiking trails, camping and so much more. But best of all, it's in the middle of nowhere. So your hikes won't be disturbed by road noise and it's likely you wont find a crowded park. Wouldn't that be nice for a change.  Salt Springs State Park is special and it should be near the top of your list if it's not already. Yes, it's a bit of a drive depending on where you live, but the best places are always worth the extra time it takes to get there. On this episode, I speak with Lee Dillon. Lee is the manager of the Lackawanna State Park Complex which includes Salt Springs State Park. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

Welcome back to the Tahoe TAP — the podcast where Things, Adventure, and People shine around the Jewel of the Sierra! Hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway are back on the mic with another dynamic episode, this time spotlighting one of the region's leading voices in conservation and community engagement. In this episode, we sit down with Michael Myers, Executive Director of the Sierra State Parks Foundation, an organization that has been championing educational programs and vital projects across the Donner and Lake Tahoe regions for over 50 years.

When you stand at the edge of Hyner View State Park, it feels like Pennsylvania has stretched itself out just for you. Rolling mountains covered in endless green, the West Branch of the Susquehanna winding far below, and a sky so wide it makes you want to take flight.In fact, people do—Hyner View is one of the state's most famous hang-gliding spots, where the bold launch themselves into the open air. I've been fortunate enough to see gliders taking off from the park's summit and it is a sight to behold. While the Hyner View is beautiful no matter the time of year, in autumn it becomes a colorful masterpiece. The endless ridges fade into the horizon and are set ablaze with fiery reds, glowing oranges and warm golds, as if the mountains themselves are smoldering. From the overlook, you can watch the Susquehanna carve its way through the valley below. Hyner View provides my favorite view in all of the Commonwealth. If I'm within an hour of the park, I must stop just to take in the breathtaking view of the Pennsylvania Wilds.But Hyner isn't just about the view. Just a few miles down the road, Hyner Run State Park offers a quieter, more grounded escape. The park feels like one of those secret spots you stumble upon and instantly want to keep to yourself. Tucked in a narrow valley, the park wrapped in trees make you feel protected from the world outside its boundaries.  A cool mountain stream winds through the valley, drawing families to its swimming pool in summer and anglers to its trout-filled waters in spring. Trails climb from the valley floor into the surrounding forest, offering quiet paths where deer slip through the underbrush and birdsong replaces the hum of traffic. Hyner Run is a place where camping, hiking, and simple stillness come together. Together, these two parks tell a story of contrast—one that lifts you into the sky, and another that brings you back to the forest. On this episode, I speak with Ian Loewen. Ian is the environmental education specialist for Hyner Run and Hyner View State Parks. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

On July 26, 2025, married couple Clinton David Brink and Cristen Amanda Brink went for a hike with their two young daughters at the Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas. A man attacked them, murdering them both. Their daughters escaped. A 28-year-old teacher named Andrew James McGann was arrested for the murders days later. He has reportedly confessed to police, and his DNA was also allegedly found at the crime scene. Today, we spoke with a guest who knew McGann back when he was in Oklahoma. She spoke to us about those experiences, some of which are more ominous in hindsight.

A shocking twist in Devil's Den: a teacher has been arrested for the brutal double murder of a local couple, sending shockwaves through the quiet community. New details are emerging about the gruesome crime scene and the hidden life of the suspect—sparking intense online interest and a growing demand for justice. A 28‑year‑old teacher, James Andrew McGann, has been charged with two counts of capital murder in the fatal stabbing of Clinton David Brink (43) and Cristen Amanda Brink (41), who were attacked while hiking with their two young daughters at Devil's Den State Park, Arkansas, on July 26, 2025. McGann was arrested on July 30 at a Springdale barbershop, after DNA evidence, video footage, and public tips linked him to the crime; he had no prior criminal record and was recently hired as a teacher in Arkansas. Authorities say the attack appears to be random and unprovoked, with no known motive or connection between McGann and the Brinks yet, who had just moved to Arkansas from another state to begin a new life. Investigators continue to search for answers about motive while the justice system prepares for possible death penalty or life without parole, depending on outcome—although no motive has yet been disclosed.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast#doublemurder #murdermystery #truestory #truecrimepodcast #newsheadlines #arkansas #arrest #teacher #devilsden
