All,
With summer almost here, this Wednesday evening offers the choice celestial twofer of a sunset and moonrise separated by only a matter of minutes. We will plan to enjoy this delightful solar/lunar dance from the summit of San Francisco City/ County's highest aerie -- Mt. Davidson. Though the whopping 927' of elevation will not cause any nose bleeds, it will offer one of the City's best views (fog willing) of the downtown skyline and the bay. It will also allow you to admire up close and personal the 103' cross that stands at the top.
The plan is to meet at the end of Mollino Street at 8pm, walk up a very short trail to the top of the mountain and enjoy the view and stroll down again after the moon comes up. Refreshments provided. Bring warm clothes in case the wind comes in. Feel free to bring along friends and like-minded acquaintances but do RSVP, particularly if you have/need a ride.
Directions:
From downtown San Francisco, take 280 south toward Daly City. Exit on Monterey Blvd and travel .9 miles. Turn right at Foerster St, travel .3 miles. Turn left at Los Palmos Drive, travel .2 miles. Turn right at Bella Vista Way, travel .2 miles. Turn left at Molimo Dr and travel .2 miles. Park at the end of the road. Might be good to print a map. See: Google Map
Not a lot of maps on the web. This is the best one I could find: http://www.mtdavidson.org/_detail/mtdavidsontrails.jpg?id=mount_davidson_trail_map&cache=cache
