Urban Hike Scavenger Hunt

October 10, 2007 Lindsay

Yes, I love Urban Hike.  On the last hike, I learned about the first crematorium in the United States and got to see Washington and Jefferson college.  October 21st is the Urban Hike Scavenger Hunt.  I have a few friends who I know will be excited about this.  Maybe we should form an IheartPGH scavenger hunt team (leave a comment or email me info@iheartPGH.com) if you would be interested in joining our team – yes, we will probably get custom t-shirts for the event.

The Steelers have a night game, so what else are you going to do all afternoon?
We always wrap up our hike season with a scavenger hunt, and this year, it’s in Shadyside (and bits of other neighborhoods like East Liberty). If you haven’t experienced one of these before, here’s what you need to do: 1)Gather up a team of 3-5 people. 2)Make sure someone on your team has a digital camera, and clear it of photos (especially the embarrassing ones). Bring the camera and its connection cord to the hunt (so we can download your photos onto our computers and show them to the world).
When: October 21, 2007. Clues distributed at 1:30 pm; hunt ends at 4 pm. Post-game show featuring prizes and your finest photos from 4 till about 5, or longer if we’re still enjoying each other’s company.
We’ll start outside East Liberty Presbyterian Church, 116 S. Highland Ave. Street parking is pretty easy to come by (you don’t have to feed the meters on Sundays).
Ending location: Double-secret. But we can tell you there will be refreshments available (pay your own way).

Directions:
From the Parkway North (I-279 southbound):
Take the Veterans Bridge (I-579) to the 6th Ave exit. Follow signs for Mellon Arena.
Take a left and follow signs for Bigelow Blvd. Continue onto N. Craig St, then turn left on Baum Blvd.
Turn left at S. Highland Mall.
From the Parkway West (I-279 northbound):

Turn left on Liberty Ave, left on 40th, right on Penn, right at S. Highland Mall.
