With an extra hour of sunlight today I decided to walk along the Barbary Coast trail, a historic walk through downtown San Francisco, starting by Union Square and ending at Fisherman's Wharf.I walked through Chinatown, up to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, and then along Embarcadero up to Aquatic Park before getting a delicious breadbowl of crab chowder.

Short Walk around the Lands End Seacliff Area with cameras, an extra lens, & a couple friends!We had a morning free and decided to take advantage of a spectacularly clear day with great temperatures.

Set out to map the Lobos Creek Valley Trail but it was closed after the sand dunes due to Habitat Restoration. Used a "social trail" up to Letterman Hospital and back down to the GGNRA Maintenance Complex.

Go to Pershing and Mountain Bike down the Social Trail. Looks like a great ride except for the occasional fallen tree.
