Sweeney Ridge

About two months ago Jacob's dad was visiting San Francisco for a few days. On Saturday I had to drop Melissa off at work, drive the kid to his Dad in SF, and then pick up Melissa at work later that night. I needed to find something to keep the pup and myself occupied all day so we went for a long walk. After searching the internets for dog friendly parks I settled on Sweeney Ridge off 280. It was a paved trail up a mountain to a Cold War era Nike missile station. It is also the spot where the first Europeans sited the San Francisco Bay.

Not part of the missile site, just some antenna...


The trail cuts through some very thick chaparral. It must have been a very tough trek from the Pacific Oceanup to the top of the mountain....





The Pacific Ocean is down there somewhere....


Now the good stuff....
