A nice bit of trail riding and portage, a brief detour around Hardly Strictly in the park that I completely forgot about, a detour to make a flat white and pick up the family, and then a loop out to Standard Deviant for smoked kölsch and Colombian food.
It’s finally summer in San Francisco, a week after its official end on the calendar.

I wanted to get out this morning and enjoy the weather but not try too hard so i spun around to both of the spots we hiked last weekend: Strawberry Hill in the park and Battery Spencer across the bridge.
I thought about tackling Hawk Hill for the first time but bailed at the circle before the last climb because I was not the mood for that nonsense.

My sister was in town so we took junior and her older son out on a short sightseeing trip across the golden gate. We left by 9:00 so we got to the trailhead in time to waltz into a parking spot.
The weather was lovely, but moreover we got to check out the camping spot down there which looked really nice and is now on our todo list.

We won lottery tickets for the last Stern Grove show of season to see Al Green. As usual, the bike valet was excellent. Hitting sunshine on the wiggle at Duboce Park after a few hours in the fog was so, so nice.

We had an opportunity to go on a hike without the seven year old so we biased for elevation that he would not enjoy. It was a beautiful day to be in the shade of a northern California redwood forest along a creek.

We camped Friday and Saturday night at the excellent Slide Ranch at Muir Beach. Camp is a short hike from a lot to a meadow west of US 1, and from there, it’s a short hike to tide pools and the Pacific Ocean. We saw rabbits, fox, raccoons, lizards, brown pelicans, and turkey vultures.
