Yes, it runs from Harrison Hills park to North Park. Within Harrison Hills they have a bunch of loops that are great. The RC trail is one way.

Great, thanks. My wife and I have been hiking the Rachel Carson a little bit at a time, but we have to do it without our kids (too difficult for them). How would you say the trails are at Harrison Hills? Easy, moderate?

It’s a perfect place to take kids. We took out twins there when they were 5. The duck pond trail is a great place to have lunch. They only questionable spots are the trails along the cliff to the Allegheny river.

My wife and I stayed in Utah for a week back in 2012. Visited Moab, and did Arches and Canyonlands. In the evening, we did this:

That was an incredible experience. Being way up on top of the sandstone cliffs looking down at the Colorado as it winds its way towards the Grand Canyon...just awesome. Biggest regret is that it was overcast so I could not see the night sky out there. Arches was fantastic but it gets really hot there...we did the Delicate Arch hike early in the AM and I was able to get my picture with the arch and no one else (yes, rockin the WBS shirt)

Six days until OBX....yesssssssssssssssss.
Dodint and other OBXers, have you ever been to Saltbox Cafe for Sunday brunch? It is back near the Colington Cafe. We discovered it last year and it is absolutely glorious.

No, neat. Despite spending our wedding night at Colington we rarely wander back to that part of the OBX. We're thinking about spending spring break down there so I'll bookmark it, thanks!

We are headed back there this year, sans my mother-in-law. She refuses to go back there because last year, they did not substitute the poached egg for an over easy egg on top of her corned beef hash BTW, the poached egg was delicious and perfect on top of the hash. The grudge is real.

They have Culvers in Columbus?

i was assuming ktk did now want fast food chains.. although Raising Canes is good stuff. Never had Culvers though.. but yes, Cbus has Culvers as well

Canes is one of those "you gotta try it" places, regardless of the type of place it is, imo
Travel Thread
Man, I pretty much hope that Culver's stays the hell away from Pittsburgh as it would be my go to for that stuff. Every day is a battle. I had one within walking distance of my house in WI.

passing through Orlando on Friday and next Thursday.
Not sure if I'll be stopping anywhere Friday since I'll be landing semi-early, but I'll definitely be looking for a place to eat before I hit the airport.

also high north or whatever the arena district it is called is like the south side if it was disinfected from all of the grime, yinzerness, and smell. I prefer my social areas to have grime, yinzers, and smell.
