Thursday Evening Urban Hike: FiDi to North Beach
Fri, May 15, 12:30 AMLet's do a Thursday evening spring urban hike from the Financial District over to North Beach. I am still working on the exact route but there will be hills and stairs, paths and gardens, water views and we will walk up the Lombard crooked street. We will meet at 5:30 but leave at 5:40 (grace period). The after gathering is planned at Specs https://www.specsbarsf.com/ . There will be live music from Hernandez Hide way (Balkan and Klezmer Style). **If anyone can get to Specs early to reserve tables, please let me know.** Hope to see you there! Please note: Phone help is not available for latecomers. If you are late it is very hard to catch up with us. We walk at a medium pace. Escorts or sweeps are not provided, so slower walkers should be completely prepared to finish the hike on their own if they become separated from the group, and they may want to consider bringing a friend to walk with them. I reserve the right to make small changes to the route as needed. Liability Disclaimer: The organizers of this meet-up are unpaid volunteers and not expert hiking guides.

Roaming The Mission Alleys and Gardens
Sun, May 17, 8:30 PM*I am going to be in the UK and on the East Coast for a couple of weeks, so this will be the last roam until June 12th.* The Mission district, as shown from Bernal Heights in this picture, is one of the flattest parts of the city, and as such was developed very early on - and then largely destroyed in 1906. This roam is primarily to visit the wonderful 'hidden garden', which is only open on Tuesdays and Sundays, but we will also pass through some of the famous alleys, and look for the traces of the old San Jose railroad line that cut diagonally across the neighbourhood. *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated. Please send a message on the app if you are running a little late. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I won't be checking my phone.* *I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers, but I do pay attention to those who regularly drop off or no-show, and there will be consequences for recidivists, as it is discourteous for others who would like to attend.*
