4/14/24 Cedar Creek Park to Pittsburgh, PA

As I was settling in last night three touring cyclists, Seth, Curtis, and Bill, rolled into the campground and camped at the shelter next to mine. I went over, we talked and became friends. A lot alike we four.

This morning I shed the sleeping bag to greet the cool air. The grass is wet as are my socks. Yes, I’m wearing socks with sandals. I walk over to say good morning and get an invitation for a cup of freshly ground coffee. Seth is sponsored by his friend’s Coffee company.

Now it’s time to pack up and go. None of us were in a hurry and I didn’t need to get into Pittsburgh before 4 PM, the check in time at the Travelers Rest Hostel.

Along the way is saw waterfalls, trees across the trail, and flooded parks.

I am in Pittsburgh, hot and tired as I find the hostel. I settle in, shower, and relax. All the nearby restaurants are closed until Tuesday. I find a pizza shop that will deliver Gennaro’s very good pizza. Night comes to Pittsburgh.
