dpitt8. We were out that way a few years ago. I wanted to see and drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a little foggy
in the area of the bridge and I was surprised to see that it was blood red at that time. If you can make it to San Jose,
which is not too far from there, the Winchester House is a fascinating place to visit. It belonged to the daughter-in-law
of the original Mr Winchester that invented the Winchester rifle. It is a huge mansion with 3 floors and large rooms and
beautifully decorated in the 1800's style. If you can visit it plan on taking a while because there are so many things to
see, from all the interior decor and a large arsenal of guns to a beautifully landscaped yard around it. Also there are many
things that you will probably want to take pictures of. It is well worth the time and money spent to see it.
When we went to S. F. and the Winchester House, we were vacationing at Bass Lake next to Yosemite National Park. That park
is one place that you should really try to see if you can. There are beautiful waterfalls, awesome mountain scenery and a pretty
valley with a large campground at one end and a large log lodge hotel and restaurant. When we stopped at a stop sign near
the Lodge there was a 4 or 5 point buck standing and grazing so close I could almost have leaned out and touched him.
Wherever you go, I hope you have a great trip.
