We started at Howard Street at 8:15 AM, and reached Cermak Road at 1:57 PM exactly—including a pause for lunch at North Avenue, from 11:20 AM until 12:15 PM.
So that’s 12 miles in 4.75 hours. Not too shabby!
We took tons of photos. My camera had 164 on it, and Sean and Steph both had cameras of their own with plenty of photos. We’re going to create a Flickr pool with them.
But for now? I really, really, really, really, really want to drink about a gallon of water, and put my feet up on a cushion! 4 years ago
It’s 50 degrees out, and supposed to thunderstorm all day. Lovely. We decided to try the hike again next Saturday, 2nd June, when hopefully the weather will have realized it’s supposed to be pretty and sunny on the days we have plans to go outside. 4 years ago
my friend Sean had (what i think is) a brilliant idea—to walk the entire length of Clark Street, this upcoming Saturday. (it’s Clark Street that makes it brilliant, not the Saturday.) we’ll start out at Howard Street, the northern terminal of the CTARed Line, 7600 North/1700 West, at 8:00 AM.
from that point, we have twelve hours to traverse the approximately twelve miles south on Clark Street to its end at Cermak Road, near the Cermak-Chinatown Red Line stop at 2200 South/140 West, by 8:00 PM. 4 years ago
