Roaming Mission Creek and the Design District

My scheduled trip to Tassajara next week has been cancelled due to smoke in the valley from the Timber fire in Big Sur, so I am adding a roam to the schedule.

After our roam south of Market, this will be another very flat and gentle roam through the industrial area served by Mission Creek. There is a lot of history here, albeit mostly covered up by landfill, and the rail tracks that used to fill the area are mostly gone, even though we can see the traces once we start looking.

I have long wanted to wander round the elegant warehouses of the Design District, and thought to combine it with a walk along both banks of the creek, whose original estuary shaped this whole part of the city.

Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.

These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.

Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) of I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.

Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and remove people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend. Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.
