Land's End Tour for WNP Members
NOTE: the day of this walk has changed to the 18th! Former National Park Service ranger John Martini leads a walking tour of the Land's End area for WNP members. We'll learn all about the history of the area: Sutro Baths, long-gone scenic railroads, shipwrecks, and more. This tour is free, but limited to WNP members and has a maximum capacity of just 30 people. Email woody@outsidelands.org with the number of your party. The 2.5 mile walk is semi-strenuous with lots of stairs. - Contact: woody@outsidelands.org - May 19th, 2008 7:00pm (Monday) at Cliff House
WNP Meet-Up
The 10th monthly WNP Meet-Up at the Cliff House! Join WNP founders David Gallagher, Woody LaBounty and friends for a drink. A cozy, casual affair, open to anyone interested in SF west side history. At the last meet-up Paul Rosenberg sang the Golden Grain pasta jingle. Maybe he'll do it again! All are welcome, and we always have good company and some interesting items to show off. We meet about 7PM in the bar area just to the left as one enters the Cliff House. If you have questions, or don't know where the Cliff House is, contact David... he's good at giving directions. - Cliff House West edge of North America Contact: David Gallagher david@outsidelands.org
