My dad was a boyscout leader and pedo. At 6 years old my mom drove us to Warren PA to confront my dad, so she could see for herself. I saw my dad naked and in bed with a young boyscout. It did not recognize in me at that age what I saw. until many years later.

One time, long ago, I was looking up houses in Warren PA. My dad back then, said to stay completely away from Warren PA. I did not know why. I asked him and he refused to tell me. But he reiterated and said to stay away from Warren PA.

So if this is a clue to anything, then here ya go. A friend of mine, Brian, looked up the area and he did find that there are many caverns in that area.

My dad was a Boyscout leader.
He was also in the Army and said he served at Checkpoint Charlie.
He also told me that he kept the scouts in the Army.
My dad used my straight mom as a front to hide his lifestyle and they divorced when I was young.

For what it is worth, just stating this publicly in case it means something to someone

Kris, thank you for sharing this… it seems we are in a time of confronting old haunts and releasing some of that energy. I have been to Warren, but just passing through. My dad (also not a very good guy) used to threaten to drop my mom off at the Warren State Hospital as a joke while we drove to Kinzua with our boat. It was pretty creepy to drive by that building and it always felt like a really heavy place to me, even as a kid.

I hope your story does help someone! Sending you love and peace while you let some of those painful things go 🫶
