Place – Lake Ariel , Lackawanna County Pennsylvania.
Located just of Interstate 84 near Scranton Pa. with easy access from major Interstate routes 80 and 81.

The 2010 Escape from Wyoming will be held in the beautiful rural setting in the mountains of north east Pennsylvania at Private location in Lake Ariel Pa.

The battles are over and the civilians are safe in the arms of their families. The 24th Connecticut is regrouping and enlisting more troops to return to secure the region. We expect to next year and drive the British and their Allies out and return the region to a peaceful haven once again.

After the defeat of the 24th Connecticut Regiment on July 3, 1778, the survivors and about 100 continental soldiers of Captain Spalding’s Company returned to Valley and provided the principal defense of the region without support of the Continental Army until September of 1778. Many of the survivors and their families headed back to the protection of Connecticut along the route known a the Northern road which follows the current path of Interstate 84 across north eastern Pa. Those who managed to escape suffered greatly and many did not survive the ordeal, being hotly pursued by Tories and Indians though the wilderness, short of food and water. We shall recreate their desperate attempt to reach safety while fending off British and their Native allies as we get the survivors to safety.
