#SunsetDunes today, before the next storm arrives. Such a wonderful park full of SF’s wonderful diversity. I especially appreciated seeing so many ppl with mobility challenges so happily reveling in the beauty and accessibility. God I love #SanFrancisco so much.

The SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, between storms today. Yerba Buena Island is a great bike destination, thanks to the path on the east span. The water taxi ride across to SF from T.I. ain’t that bad either.

So nice to return to Muir Woods after an absence of two months. The seasonal change is so palpable. And the dedicated team of rangers is working without real paychecks, back pay not assured.
