Moments in Dirt and Ink

Golden Gate Park Click for map. We stopped by the park on the way through. There is actually plenty of free parking along the streets near and through it. Count me surprised about that. There are also plenty of people walking around it and, on a Sunday, plenty of parties going on. But I guess sometimes you just have to sit by the pond and watch the ducks. Turtles too. They were not easy to scare. The ducks mostly come in pairs. They are a bit easier to scare.

Golden Gate National Recreation Area Heading up the freeway, it is often fun to play near a bridge. Out on the Marin Headlands is an excellent place to play on a very large bridge indeed. Spanning the Golden Gate in international orange is the Golden Gate Bridge. North end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The very first exit off the end of the bridge is a view point with plenty to view, although not so much the morning I was there. Winter should be a good time to take in the view. There is also a series of memorials. Alcatraz Island is supposed to be out there somewhere.
