Sweet Arrow Lake was INSANELY affordable. it's not your fiancée's native Chester County, but we got to splurge on catering and music thanks to the big savings. Big lake, nice scenery, a playground for kids, a full kitchen with plenty of refrigerated storage, a pavilion, it had everything we needed. we had around 100 people at the event, plenty of space for that size

i spoke to Service Access & Management. back then i was a part-timer, now i work full time (no medical insurance tho) and still have service. i was in a really rough spot and they were super helpful getting me set up and walking me through the process, im hopeful they can answer any questions about qualifications and options.

according to a recent survey the number one new years resolution in pennsylvania was to seek therapy, which i found to be interesting and kind of hopeful. i get my therapy through the state's healthcare and its adequate. if you're having trouble affording healthcare i recommend using social programs. the more they're used the more funding they receive

Definitely use this website if you want the best skies possible, but remember the gods of star gazing are fickle and chaotic. I've been up there a few times, winter is definitely better for viewing because of the drop in water vapor.

I'll echo everyone in the comments BRING RED FLASH LIGHTS/HEADLAMPS. Also, unless you have a very powerful telescope... you're not gonna see much BUT the planets will be VERY clear, best Saturn and Jupiter I've ever seen with my rinky dink rig. No worries though, the community up there has always been kind to me and there's usually somebody up there with a gargantuan scope and a digital display that captures galaxies really well, and it's also a great time to geek out with each other and learn new stuff.

I've been up there on New Moon nights and Full Moon nights and honestly because my rig isn't that great I loved the Full Moon night. For a first timer I'd take a new moon night because there's def gonna be a lot more gazers and scopes looking at stuff.

Idk if they've changed the rules but me and the wife went up and just fell asleep in a few blankets while stargazing, nobody bothered us or kicked us out.
