To paraphrase: Walnut Creek is a nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there (other than Riv, and there are a lot of nice hikes on and around Diablo if you want to see Riv's roots). If you want to visit Muir Woods, you now need to make parking reservations or a shuttle reservation. See the Muir Woods website for instructions.
One outing that I highly recommend is walking around the Presidio to see their Andy Goldsworthy collection. They give guided hikes on Saturdays, for which you need reservations, but there is a map here to guide your own walk: https://www.presidio.gov/places-internal/Shared%20Documents/Goldsworthy-Brochure.pdf jim m walnut creek, ca On Monday, February 12, 2018 at 5:14:58 PM UTC-8, REC wrote: > > If this is too off topic, I'm sure the moderator will delete.
