Walking guide ~~To/From HoJo

[allgrownup]

I know I've seen a link with good walking information. I remember cross the main highway right there at HoJo, walk along the fenced side rather than the hotel side.......where does one enter the park?

I'm looking at Google Earth and see two possible points of entry. My guess is it's the second 'driveway' off the highway?

Thanks!

Here's a link to a gmaps pedometer of the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=88663

There is an entry with a marked crosswalk, right next to the bus stop. It goes through a gap in the hedge. It puts you on the second traffic island over. You can walk up around the other side of the circle.

I'll tell you a couple of differences from the marked route, there, though: We stayed in building one, so we jaywalked across Manchester right there at the side of building one, rather than walk down to the light and wait for the walk signal to cross Manchester first, then the signal to cross Harbor. I know, we shouldn't jaywalk, but there was hardly ever any traffic and it seemed quite safe.

More jaywalking badness: Once we got into the tram area, the security tables that were open were those way over to the left. So rather than walk the long way around the circle, we jaywalked across the two lanes of tram dropoff driveway, and joined the throngs of other people who crossed Harbor at the main crosswalk by BWPPI. Again, it was pretty easy because it wasn't that busy. There was only one day when we saw any of the northernmost security tents open. Otherwise it was the southernmost ones.

HTH!

We are staying in building 1 also so your tip will be a good one for us to use

Thank you! I think I have it figured out. I just have to wait 15 days....

I've never been able to figure it out and I've seen video. I'm the kind of person that has to do it to understand. That and fast passes. It would help if someone could sort of give us gps type directions--y'know walk to this point then turn right...
