Try to be considerate of people with food allegies (listed below). If you pack something that somebody can't eat, tossing in something extra for them would be very nice!

We cannot guarantee that people bringing food will accommodate your dietary restrictions. If it looks like your choices will be limited, pack something for yourself - or better yet, bring enough for everyone so we can try something new!

If you usually come from 910, Pearce Mill Road is closed for construction. Keep going past the intersection where you'd typically turn and follow the detour signs.

If you end up having trouble finding the pavilion, call the WPLUG hotline at (412) 254-6583 for directions. Just be prepared for an introduction to OpenStreetMap once you arrive... ;)

UPDATE: In the initial announcement for OSP 2013, I mentioned that those of you who come to North Park via Pearce Mill Road would need to take a detour since the road is closed for construction. Well, I’m afraid the detour just got a lot worse: on my way out this morning, I found out that they’ve closed off the entire intersection around Pearce Mill Road.
 
 
To take their “detour,” you have to turn around, head up 19 North toward Cranberry, and turn right near the Exxon station. Frankly, I don’t think it’s worth the trouble. I strongly recommend finding an alternate route.
