SF Mission Murals - An Urban Walk (4 miles)

Hi Sweeps. Before the predicted El Nino rains hit, I thought it might be fun to try something different. So .... three of our fellow Sweeps hikers did a dry run of an urban walk through San Francisco's Mission District to look at the many beautiful and thought-provoking street murals. It turned out to be a very fun outing, and I think we can manage a small group to do it as a Sweeps event. We started at the 16th Street Bart Station, walked the street murals (with a pastry and coffee stop at an excellent Russian bakery), and ended with lunch at a Mexican restaurant near the 24th Street Bart Station. So, if you feel up to immersion into San Francisco Mission street culture, please jump on your nearest Bart train and join us at 10am in the 16th Street Mission Bart plaza. When you arrive at the 16th Street Mission Station, leave by the SW exit, and take the escalator up to the plaza. See the photos below for a picture of the start location. The weatherman is currently predicting a nice Monday for us. But if the weather ends up looking threatening, check the MeetUp website before heading out Monday morning to confirm that the event is still on.

Here is a sample of some of the murals:
