Hiking the Beltline
Decatur Metro | March 9, 2009 | 10:06 am
Over the weekend, AsianCajuns’ Catherine and Lauren hiked 6-miles of the future Beltline with some good friends in tow.
Their photo journal documents the fascinating urban environment along this much-talked about abandoned track. Its not to be missed.
I’m thinking I need to get in on one of these Urban Hikes.
You know what’s even more daring than an urban hike? A suburban hike. Go stroll those great unused sidewalks along US 78 for a couple miles and in short order you’ll see what I mean.
i know right? i really want to get on one of these too, but i’m not sure how to keep updated, other than just follow the blog. do they have an email list?
Thanks for posting this, DM! We had a lot of fun. You should definitely try to join us on the next hike.
Leila, I first heard about the hike through the WonderRoot newsletter. So I would recommend signing up for their newsletter at wonderroot.org. We’ll try to announce the next hike on AsianCajuns if we hear about it in advance.
Their hike looks like it took them across the RR overpass on North Avenue by Masquerade. Back in the 80′s I used to bike that RR and area. I would end up at the old Sears building and race the parking deck ramps. I was a resident of the Old 4th before it was cool! Lol.
Ahh! Youth …
