Look at http://shaw-weil.com/linkup/logistics.htm It shows how to get to a
bus (56c) near the Pittsburk Amtrak station, that goes to McKeesport
Pat- I sent you an email with this info, but your email address bounced.

Why not just fly to pittsburg. You can buy round trip airline tickets
with different towns and the extra would surely be less than the
amtrak & bus fees.

Since the National Geographic Adventurer article last year on this,
I'm wanting to go too.

Pittsburgh.

sigh.

I know, I know.
