The walk takes us through the old Presidio Army base (inactive) All the way to the Golden Gate Bridge right past all the traffic on Doyle Drive - Actually most of the walk is away from traffic

Typical SF summer weather cold and windy but great for a hike.
I got to play with the Nuvi a lot.

Didn't Hemmingway say.. coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. When I leved in Sonoma it would be 40 degrees colder at the bay then in in wine country.

Was that Hemmingway or Mark Twain?

Looks like you are correct sort of. It was not hemmignway it was possibly Twain, I guess there is some question wether he made the quote of not. Regardless it makes the point. Nothing like getting to the Golden Gate from and hour away in shorts, t-shirt and sandals and having to don a Gortex parka. I miss Nor Cal.
