Message-Id: <502993705/mkb@ROVER.RI.CMU.EDU> There aren't any rally good outdoor stores in the area that I know of, but Excursions in Monroeville is not too bad (a little expensive, since they carry name brand stuff, but if you need stuff in a hurry they might have it). I mostly shop mail order - I've had very good luck with REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.) in Seattle (I have a catalog around somewhere if you want to look at it). I know others who like EMS (Eastern Mountain Sport), but I've never dealt with them. cheers, -m- - - - - - - - - Received: from K.CS.CMU.EDU by G.CS.CMU.EDU; 9 Dec 85 11:33:57 EST Date: 9 Dec 1985 11:31-EST From: Barbara.Staudt@K.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Re: Outdoor Stores in Pgh?

Message-ID: <1985.12.9.16.54.58.Jim.Large@spice.cs.cmu.edu> Exkursion is a small store in monroeville which mostly sells climbing equipment, but also sells camping stuff that ckimbers might use. The selection is small, but the people are very helpful. Located accross route 22 from the miracle mile. Kind of hard to notice. It's in a tiny building with no parking, next door to Chin's Tikki Outi. Around here, I think most folks shop by mail. -- Jim Large - - - - - - - - Received: from A.CS.CMU.EDU by G.CS.CMU.EDU; 9 Dec 85 12:23:56 EST Date: 9 Dec 85 12:22:13 EST From: Lee.Brownston@A.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Re: Outdoor Stores in Pgh? To: Steven.Nowlan@G.CS.CMU.EDU There are two in Pgh: Outdoor Experience in Shadyside Village (Aiken at Walnut), and Exkursion [sic] on Business 22 across from Miracle Mile. In Laughlintown, there is Ligonier Mountain Outfitters, but they have gone mostly cross-country skiing, to the extent that they are closed during the non- ski seasons. -- Lee - - - - - - - - Received: from CIVE.RI.CMU.EDU by G.CS.CMU.EDU; 9 Dec 85 13:16:02 EST Date: Monday, 9 December 1985 13:14:40 EST From: Irving.Oppenheim@cive.ri.cmu.edu To: sjn@g.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Outdoor store Message-ID: <1985.12.9.18.13.39.Irving.Oppenheim@cive.ri.cmu.edu> Definitely Exkursion in Monroeville, in my opinion. - - - - - - - - Received: from SPICE.CS.CMU.EDU by G.CS.CMU.EDU; 9 Dec 85 16:51:48 EST Date: 9 Dec 1985 16:36-EST From: Bernd.Bruegge@SPICE.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Re: Outdoor Stores in Pgh? To: Steven.Nowlan@G.CS.CMU.EDU Message-Id: <503012215/bob@SPICE.CS.CMU.EDU> In-Reply-To: Steven.Nowlan@G.CS.CMU.EDU's bboard message of 09-Dec-85 10:46 Steven, I can recommend Fred Gunter's "Exkursion" . The best way to get there is to take the Parkway past the first exit to Monroeville and enter Monroeville at the second exit. The store is somehow hard to find and I forgot the street number. It is located on William Penn Highway nearby the Miracle Mile (almost opposite to David Weiss, which is on the left side ). If you come down to William Penn, it is located on the right side about 100 yards after a Burger King and right before a Chinese Fast food store (Taki outi, or similar), altogether about half a mile after the first traffic light coming from the Parkway exit. It is a small outdoor store with very knowledgable people.
