We had passed Ariel Foundation Park on the way to Mount Liberty, but hadn’t stopped to explore. On our return ride we decided to divert a bit and check it out. The park is an old PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Glass) factory facility closed in 1976 and recently repurposed into an open air museum of sorts.

Read MoreHi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!
