We headed out this morning for San Francisco. Most of the road was much straighter and faster than yesterday. We headed straight north on highway 1 to Golden Gate Park for some geocaching and walking. Wow! This park is huge. We walked our tootsies off and barely covered one small corner. It was interesting geocaching in such a public place. And the public was out in force on this sunny day. As we walked along, looking at our GPS or our Palm Pilot, we realized we did not stand out in any way. There were so many people strolling along, looking at their phones, texting, etc. If anyone noticed us, they surely just thought our instruments were sadly out of date.
It's nice to be able to park Howie on the street!
Serendipity. We went up to a building on our way to one cache. Harris asked a uniformed lady about it, and found out it was the de Young Museum. She described all the various kinds of exhibits there, including a special collection of Amish quilts. Well! Then, she added, the first Tuesday of the month is free! So, of course we had to go in and see the quilts. We also went up to the 9th floor for a panoramic view of the city.

We continued out highway 1 and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Our RV park was just a few miles out of the city, and we plan to take the ferry into the city tomorrow for some sightseeing.
An interesting rest stop for the birds which was close to a cache.
Tonight we logged our caches and found out we are at 489. We’re hoping to reach 500 before long!
