yes, all our walks are a party

Who is ready to walk 18 miles? These guys! 

"Don't oppress the stranger, for you know their heart - for you were once a stranger."

These lovely people are always in Golden Gate Park doing tai chi style dancing set to music.

All smiles at the start of the day.

Yes, there is a waterfall in Golden Gate Park.

Walkers looking fierce crossing that intersection: safety is sexy!

Good Morning Crissy Field as we make our way back to our cars.

The Presidio is our backyard.

Yes, there are horses in the Presidio.

Really hitting our stride as we wrap up the first 9 mile loop.

Then after our first loop we took a lunch break. Everyone brought a sack lunch... poor Carol is hunting for her salad dressing.

Taking a load off before heading out on loop two.

Nasi showing us her sweet stretching moves.

The group ready for another 8 miles!

Looking back on the beautiful bridge cloaked in fog.

Heading out Land's End Trail - feels like you a far, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. 

Awesome snacks by Sharla who provided route support for our second loop. Nom, nom, nom! 

By the new Visitor's Center at Land's End. Parks for all Forever!

Ooops. A to remain nameless walker spilled water on her pants. :( 

Yes, all our walks are a party!

How sweet is this little free library on Lake Street?

So many miles but still all smiles.

YAY for ice cold watermelon to help us finish strong.
