FWG Hikes Angel Island/Fleet Week

A rare opportunity has presented itself, so we are switching locations to Angel Island this week, and in doing so we will get in a beautiful hike and enjoy the fleet week show from the best view in the bay. Ok First thing first fam. If you plan on attending this Hike please go online and buy a ferry ticket ASAP for 10am. They have limited capacity and they will sell out quick. If the 10am sells out before you book, then buy the 11am, you will still catch up to the group as we will stop to see the show. https://angelislandferry.com/ Angel Island is the largest island in area of the San Francisco Bay. The island is so large that on a clear day, Sonoma and Napa can be seen from the north side of the island, San Jose can be seen from the south side of the island. The highest point on the island, almost exactly at its center, is Mount Caroline Livermore at a height of 788 feet (240 m). The island is almost entirely in Marin County, California, although, there is a small sliver (0.7%) at the eastern end of it (Fort McDowell) which extends into the territory of the City and County of San Francisco. **Directions** From Oakland: https://goo.gl/maps/bVnpow7CMGF2 From San Francisco: https://goo.gl/maps/111RMsR9zEy From Richmond: https://goo.gl/maps/mCse7EJ7ArP2 From Walnut Creek: https://goo.gl/maps/GZCv5v7a8tn From Hayward: https://goo.gl/maps/Jc48SWKDpPv By Ferry from Oakland: http://sanfranciscobayferry.com/route/oakland/pier41 What are the fees: Ferry fees - Adults (ages 13 and over) $18.00 Children (ages 6 - 12) $13.00 Small Children (ages 3 - 5) $3.50 Toddlers (ages 2 and under) Free* Parking Fee - $5.oo(CVS Parking Lot) http://angelislandferry.com/parking-information/ What food to bring: Bring a brown bag lunch and plenty of water.

Tunnel Tops and the Wave Organ

Presidio's Tunnel Tops is no longer the new kid on the block, but it is still a magnificent space with world class views. This Friday roam will take us down from there to the waterfront, and along to the wave organ, another remarkable space to sit and enjoy the elements. We will return on an inland route, through the gardens and back ways of the Presidio. This is almost completely flat, but we will probably walk along the sand for a part of the time. *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) of I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and remove people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend.* *Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.*
