Last night, around midnight, we were all jackassing around on the third floor. Throwing packing peanuts, oranges, generally being the third floor. I walked into Luke's room and noticed that he had a huge TV box (52" Sony Bravia), and had the inspired idea to go sledding. I pitch the idea to some other people, and soon enough we're hauling this box and some dinner trays toward the hill outside of Gumberg Library, sledding into traffic on Forbes (Point B on map). After the cops kicked us off for being jackasses, we rendezvous at point C on the map, Gumberg library. After that, we decide to trek to Mellon Arena, in search of sledding (Point D on map).
On the elevator in the parking garage, on the way to Mellon.

At Mellon Arena.The sledding sucked there. Bad. Broken glass, no snow, all fail. So we decide to take this up a notch, and walk all the way to Mount Washington, exactly one long fucking walk away. We decide to take the tunnel under campus, Armstrong Tunnel, to cut down on the time. It's about 12:45 when we hit the tunnel.
We cross the 10th street bridge (I jog it, because I'm just that badass), and grab this picture along the way.
We cross Carson St. and continue down 10th until we hit this pedestrian bridge over some train tracks. We hit the top of the bridge, and notice a train down the tracks. After some fierce debating as to whether or not it was a trian (A car? Seriously, Scott? Three lights?), it starts to move. We wait for it to pass under us, and it greets us with a few loud train whistle blasts. Awesome. After this minor break, we continue on.
Finally, after we crest another set of stairs after the bridge, we're rewarded with some nice slopes. There's a driveway covered in snow, which is prime, except that it's very hard and rocky, so we continue on not long after that. As we're walking through Mount Washington, I snap this shot. The arrow is where I live.
We continue on through the mountain, eventually reaching the Liberty bridge. We're faced with a decision, head to Station Square and take the incline up to the top of the mountain, or cross the Liberty Bridge back to school. We decide that the incline is probably closed, and decide to go across the bridge. After a long walk, we eventually reach Forbes, then take that back to campus. Got back somewhere between 2:30 and 3:00 am.
Our entire route, minus the flop of Google Maps fucking up points G to H. It's just across the small railroad tracks over a pedestrian bridge, but Google Maps doesn't like railroads, it'd seem.
