Mar 28 Run: Bartlett entrance to Schenley Park

Next Sunday we will run through Schenley Park to find the crumbly steps up to Greenfield and loop back to the starting point: the Bartlett entrance to the Park. This is across the road from the Wendy Bennett (not Memorial) Trailhead - at the corner of Bartlett and what I thought was the Boulevard but at that point is Hobart, turning into Panther Hollow Road - whatever... You can find it on this map: http://www.pittsburghparks.org/schenley-directions

It was a big group, longer distance, beautiful morning kind of run today. There were close to 15 people who turned out for one of the group's favorites - the South Side. We ran down river accompanied by birds of all sorts to the Smithfield Street bridge - turned around and ran back via Carson Street which had the atmosphere of a vacation town in the off-season feel - good times supplanted by an early morning quiet. I found two pennies and ran over a patch of glitter - what could be better!

Even with a few people not coming to coffee (although Pam Murray showed up) it was a big and noisy coffee group.
