Golden Gate Bridge Pics
I had to work an emergency call out. Another guy and I drove from Fortuna, CA to Moss Landing, CA. That was 350 miles! We finished the job this morning and drove back through San Francisco. I took pics on the way back across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Re: Golden Gate Bridge Pics
Nice pictures. I think the two best views are from Ft Point, in the Presidio, and from Ft Cronkhite, in the Marin Headlands--but you've probably been to these spots before!

Dang! I haven't had time. It seems like I'm always having to go here or there or I have a 40 foot RV hitched to my truck.

The pics are a bit grainy. Sorry. I took them from my truck, through the windshield with my EVO.

Re: Golden Gate Bridge Pics
My place is right off the first exit after the bridge, hope to see it again when I get back from Sydney at the end of the year.

My office is in SF, I cross that bridge twice a day and love it every time.

I used to live a few more exits up on Monte Mar Dr. in a house built half on stilts on the side of a hill. Every morning it seemed I'd end up stepping on a 7" green slug crawling across the outside stairs. Yuk!

Love SF. My favorite city. My son loved the GG Bridge out of everything he saw in The City.
To me, the Bridge looks vulnerable in this shot.

Thanks, Torren, for reminding me of my last visit there. Good, yet bittersweet memories.
