Urban hike goes into a scavenger hunt on the South Side

We'll be busy with the kids, and sadly, can't play this game. But, perhaps some of you might like to give it a whirl.
Join Urban Hike for its annual scavenger hunt this Saturday!

So you think you know the South Side, super sleuth? Then meet us at Caribou Coffee in the South Side Works (2729 East Carson Street) at noon, Saturday, October 29th. You’ll have three hours to track down the hidden gems we’ve found in the neighborhood.

Come with a team of four people or on your own. We’ll match people up where needed. If you have one, please bring your digital camera and the cord that allows it to connect to a computer. Some of the clues will require photographs, and we’ll all look at them after the hike concludes.

All teams must be at Taco Loco (2700 Jane Street) by 3 pm in order to compete for valuable prizes and exciting merchandise. Click comments for directions.

Questions? E-mail info@urbanhike.org.
