Brown Bag Lunch at Fort Point
Details
A ride to Fort Point National Historic Site (at the base of the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge). Bring a brown bag lunch or pick up something at the deli along the way. There will be a toll for going one direction on the GG Bridge, which you pay through Fastrak.
The Fort has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.
Meet at Starbucks off Enterprise Blvd in West Sacramento. KSU at 9:00 AM. Approximately 250 miles RT on the planned route.
