Our starting point.

The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) does not begin until we cross the Hot Metal Bridge. This trail goes along the Ohio River towards downtown.


Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sand sculpture in progress. located under the bridge crossed.

Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Point: where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River become the Ohio River.


There are 446 bridges in Pittsburgh, more than any other city in the world and three more than Venice.

Ahh, a stop at Starbucks-my last for a good long while.

The Hot Metal Bridge.

Goodbye Pittsburgh.

The trail is decomposed granite and really well-maintained by volunteers.

The Youghshire Inn, the only option in (Little) Boston.

Lynn the innkeeper said her decorating style is “tacky”. Each room has a theme: Oriental, garden, Hawaiian (my room and I didn’t like always stepping on the too-long hula skirt/bed skirt), cell block,

and the Vegas room (Billie & JDs). It was the only room “with a view”-the wall opposite the bed was a wallpaper mural of the Vegas Strip.
