Roaming Some Presidio Favourites

It's always a pleasure to roam in the Presidio. Over the years I have developed a few favourite spots, and this roam will visit some of these mostly lesser-visited places: the Ghost Trail, Dragonfly Creek, and the Community Garden. We will be climbing a certain amount, and there is plenty of off-roading on the way round. We will meet by the Presidio Visitors' Center, on the side away from the bridge and closer to the bathrooms.

Heron's Head and the Sundial

I didn't know the south east corner of the city that well until recently, but Heron's Head has been a draw for me for a long time. In the last few years we have also visited the larger of the city's two sundials several times. This route will incorporate these attractions, as well as some gardens and parks around Bayview and Hunter's Point. There will be a climb to get to the sundial, but otherwise this is relatively flat; some stretches of this will be a little drab and industrial as well, but time along the shoreline is always worth it. *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. Please send a message on the app if you are running a little late - direct messages are best, rather than a comment on the event. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I put my phone away other than to take pictures.* *I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers (we do talk to each other!), but since generally up to half the people who sign up don't show up, my tolerance for repeated flakiness is limited. It is especially unfair to people on the wait list who would like to attend.*
