Hello
Last month we hiked into Muir Woods for the moonlight hike - which was beautiful but I neglected the fact that the trees are so thick and luch that the moonlight doesnt cut thorugh.
So this time well make it a place with a view - the De Anza discovery site. NO. 394 SITE OF THE DISCOVERY OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY - On October 31,1769, Captain Gaspar de Portolá was camped by the creek at the south of this valley when scouting parties brought news of a body of water to the east. On November 4, the expedition advanced. Turning inland, the party climbed to the summit of Sweeney Ridge and beheld the Bay of San Francisco for the first time.
Location: Sweeney Ridge, from Hwy 1 take Fassler Ave, then trail to site in Pacifica, plaque located SE corner of Crespi Dr and State Hwy 1, Pacifica
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places: NPS-68000022
We can meet at the parking lot at the start of sweeney ridge at the end of sneath lane or at the parking lot at skyline college or at the one in pacifica -- or at the discovery site - I have been to them all, and its to be figured:
