as cub scouts we used to tour the Presidio in SanFran overlooking the Pacific at the base of the GoldenGate,
what a place that is/was !,
it sort of antiquated itself once cannonballs weren't the optimum weapon for defending ports,

(and once it was decommissioned every group in town wanted to have it including, of course, homeless groups, same as NTC here in 'Dago when NTC was shuttered)

I think George Lucas won that bidding battle, and now has the HQ of his Industrial Light and Magic company based there.

Troop - thanks for the pic's. Makes me nostalgic as the admiral and I always vacationed in SD from Tucson. I know, I know you SD folks don't like the Zonies so much. We always went to Seaport Village and walked along the same places you took pic's of. and so, I'll apprpriately say..."Thanks for the memories!"

Yeah, Disney also has a slice of the Presidio pie. They'll be putting in a Disney Museum there in the future.

Fort Point is at the actual base of the Gate. VERY cool place.

And that fog horn is LOUD!!!!

The term "bell-shifts" might be foreign to those not in the car biz....thanks for showing more of your talents....
