Rain or Shine-The Presidio-History, Architecture & Tunnel Tops Walk

The harder it rains the less hiking we will do. Which means they'll be lots of time to have Brunch. **Chestnut St. has a large assortment of traditional and avant-guard restaurants.
*Let's pick one out from the listing below.**** ***
Rain or Shine, a nice walk through the Presidio of San Francisco, starting in Pacific Hts. Bring an umbrella, wear good threads, maybe nylon/synthetic pants. As we take an enjoyable April showers walk through the grounds of the Presidio, we'll learn about major events in its colorful history. For instance did you know that in 1899 during the Spanish/Philipines War thousands of very young, raw American recruits from all over the country where stationed in tents bordering fashionable Pacific Hts. Here they took US Army basic training and awaited deployment to the Philippine War or were sent here at the end of their enlistment to be mustered out. It was not a quiet time there, or nearby to say the least.
Let's put our heads together to stay on the most interesting routes through the Presidio. Here is a link to an excellent Google map.
