Today we walk clear across San Francisco, from the southwest to Sausalito. The official maps we are using are:

However, we have charted our own course today thanks to our San Franciscan friend David, who walks these streets all the time, and really knows his way around. What's more, Ft. Funston was closed due to the shutdown of the federal government, so we started slightly north of there, on Brotherhood Way, and walked across the Lake Merced neighborhood.
Our route, in a nutshell, was: Brotherhood Way, Merced Heights, Joost St., Glen Canyon, Twin Peaks, Mt. Sutro, Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a perfect walk for a perfectly sunny day.
Our crew today includes friends Suzanne, Julia, David, and Jonathan (for a bit at the beginning).
