Looking past the Golden Gate at the city and surrounding area is one thing.

Driving over it is surreal.

Parking under it is completely crazy!

I’m so dull…I always thought The Presidio was an active military base at the south end of the Golden Gate, so the edge of San Francisco Bay over near the bridge would be off-limits to we civilians.

Former military base, Doug.

We drove right up to the bridge base!

The whole area is available for recreation…and the view!
