In today's Chroncle, October 24, 2019, was a report "The Race to Chase," about the Chronicle reporters out to investigate the fastedst way to Chase Center. Would it be walking, Lyft, MUNI, bike, scooter, or private car?
I'm so glad that the walker won and
not just because I love Steve Rubenstein, the Chronicle's Mark Twain. My friend Bill Shoaf and I walked San
Francisco in 2016 in preparation for the Camino de Santiago and loved seeing
the city on foot.
Among our
routes were Stern Grove to Ocean Beach to Sutro Park, From the Conservatory of
Flowers to Church and 30th to McLaren Park and the Philosopher's Way, from
Castro and Market to Corona Heights, Mountain Lake, Bakers Beach, and Golden
Gate Park, from Hoffman and 24th to BillyGoat Hill with our friend Janet, who
walked with me from Ocean Beach and Fulton to Golden Gate Park, Haight Ashbury,
Post Street and the Embarcadero and
joined us from Castro and Market to Sausalito and from Castro and Market
to the Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, Russian Hill, and Chinatown.
I also took
some solo walks including one from 19th and Vicente to Wisconsin, a pilgrimage
to honor a friend on her retirement.
Walking really is the best way to go if you're not carry8ing a lot of heavy groceries and if we can spare the extra time. (Sometimes, as iwith the "race to Chase") walking takes less time, not more!
