I worked for PG&E in the North Bay (SF Bay Area). Howdy fellow PG&Er.

Sutro Baths are part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area - beware!

Ah, you're a power plant guy. I was in General Construction and traveled around the state working on tower lines, 230kv pole lines, and substations. Even did a little work at a hydro plant once. It used to be a great company, don't know what it's like now. Been away for 9 years. Happy Hunting - and don't get fried!!! LOL

I used to work for DOD in San Diego.

I saw the sutro baths on a PBS TV show with Huell Howser.
