I have skipped over many adventures,since they all look like post-flood stuff, but with Spring's arrival, I have more to offer by way of diversity. A few storm shots still included; but these are consequences, not ongoing trouble. Life is good here. Spring is everywhere!

| James Lee Campground road |
 |
| Jeffery hung this sign using a ladder to get it up high in the tree. Kathleen made the sign, and it really seemed to make a huge difference in the tidiness of the beach-goers in the three years it has been on display. Guess Jeffery will have to bring the ladder back. Also note the high water mark on the tree. |
 |
| This shows the dune that was created by the floods, which has entirely transformed our community beach spot. That's the tree with the sign on it. |

 |
| We went into the tunnel, but could only get so far in, as the tide had swamped its end |
 |

 |
| Jeffery and Sierra are lost in shadow so that you could see the view from the table we were given for our wee repast before we hiked back up the cliffs to our car. |

 |
| Jeffery takes Sierra's photo at the Fort Point access |
 |
| It's a runner's thing; look it up! |
 |
| We simply had to drive Sierra over the Bridge so that we could see it from the other side, and take a walk to the first tower. |
 |
| Sierra at the North Tower |
 |
| I like this photo of Jeffery, Sierra, and the Bridge. |
 |
| This one is for Sierra's grandfather! |

 |
| We took Sierra down the Windiest Street (Lombard) which requires you to first drive straight up its back-side, and then continue down a steep hill after doing the curvy part. The full adventure in every way! |
 |
| What trip to San Francisco would be complete without a tour of China Town's food markets and shops. We were astonished to actually find a parking spot there, which allowed us to do more while there. |
 |
| It's Kite Flying Day on Table Mountain. |
 |
| Sara flew the dragon |
 |
| Jeffery's photo captures a sense of the gifts offered on Table Mountain |
 |
| Grant has the coolest toys, which are specifically created to make flying kites easier. |
 |
| There was an emergency rescue while we were there |
 |
| Lot's of trucks and helicopters attended the rescue operation |

So fun! I love all the bridge pictures and the one of the view of SF (city and bridge). Thanks for sharing!
