One of the things I have always loved about Charleston, West Virginia is that it offers many beautiful places for taking a walk. Of all the walks I love, my favorite is the Sunrise Carriage Trail, a wooded path that leads from the base of the South Side Bridge up to the old Sunrise mansion (originally a former governor’s home, then an art museum, now a law firm).
A few months ago I contributed to a Kickstarter campaign that made so much sense to me: Walk Your City is a grass-roots group that uses technology to encourage more walking in cities. The reward for my donation was this dandy sign, along with instructions for putting it up. I’m so pleased that Charleston has joined the Walk Your City family.
And here’s what the Carriage Trail looks like this week:
love all of this, especially you, standing by the street sign, though it should read “5 minutes walked by colleen and 8 minutes by the rest of us.”
Next time I am in town I will call you! I’d love to walk the trail with you. Great exercise, great surroundings, great fellowship.
Thanks, but it really IS five minutes. The Walk Your City figured it out for me after I located the sign location on a GPS-type map. That’s the technology part!
I would love to take that walk with you, Sarah!
Wonderful. Charleston is a great place to walk!
Where is carriage trail? Need directions. From your sign.
