CALIFORNIA
COAST JANUARY 2017
TUESDAY – 3 JANUARY
Headed
off to San Francisco for a photo adventure which was originally planned for Pt.
Reyes to Big Sur. It was raining in San Francisco. Due to the weather reports
the plans changed to going to Yosemite as a winter storm was approaching with
the promise of a good snow in the Valley. We would stay in Yosemite for three
nights starting the 4th.
Our
leader, Mark’s flight was cancelled on Tuesday out of Chicago so he, and three
others, would not arrive until Wednesday afternoon. The rest of the group
met up on Tuesday afternoon, rented cars, and made our way to downtown San
Francisco. Some of the group did not have winter wear with them as they had
left home before the change in plans. They were looking for cheap purchases for
the new itinerary.
We
relieved the stress with a late lunch at the Buena Vista Café to enjoy an Irish
Coffee -
As
I was one of the drivers I refrained from the elixir. Also I was driving a very large vehicle by my
standards, a GMC Tahoe in comparison to a Subaru Forester. The saving grace was
that it had all the bells and whistles, including power seats, so it was not an
issue with getting to see out and around the vehicle. After a short walk
bayside we returned to our lodging.
Searches
were made with smart phones for sporting goods stores. We
found one in the Presidio area called Sports Basement. We would shop there in the morning.
Dinner
tonight was at a local sports bar that we found after my asking a local at an
intersection for a recommendation for a restaurant as we strolled the neighborhood. It was good, and we participated in a trivia game.
(No
photography by me today as it was totally overcast with an occasional shower.)
