Chestnut Grove Lodge was built in 1925. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, it was one of many honeymoon destinations in the Poconos. By the 1980s, it became a family resort. According to this Facebook post, it did not survive the pandemic and was sold to a religious group in 2020. Located in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania.

This was how Mal and I first met. I was on swiftwater one day, and this heavy popped in. He was really funny, and he didn’t yell at me for anything. He genuinely thought it was his fault when we died. “Heavys are supposed to protect our medics!”, he said. I had a really good time, and when I finally got an ubercharge he suggested we go try and push Blu back into spawn. So, we ran and as we were going over the bridge I fell into the pit on accident. The entire enemy team targeted me, without my heavy, so I popped my uber. I told Mal just to run away and leave me there, but instead the fucker jumped in to the pit to try and save me. I was left with 10% uber, and I used it on him so that he wouldn’t die immediately. I thought we were going to die. But, using 10% charge Mal murdered the entire enemy team.He then very politely escorted me to the place where we could jump up, and headed towards the Blu spawn to keep them in there. It was epic. (Edit: Soon after we started dating and at the moment are coming up to our 2nd year anniversary :> good memories ❤️)
