Looks like they had a great time! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us all. In the second-to-last picture, what's the structure behind Taggart?

Bruce thought it might be where they had cannons and were able to move them around. But we aren't sure.

Fort Funston

With the invention of aircraft, open-air gun batteries became giant bull's-eye targets, and the army began building casemates over batteries to protect and camouflage them from enemy aircraft. Completed in 1938, Battery Davis was the first of these casemated batteries. The barrels of its two massive, 16-inch guns weighed 146 tons apiece. Battery Davis served as the prototype for all 16-inch gun emplacements built in America after 1938. Explore Battery Davis from the Sunset Trail.

History
Soldiers to Students
When the first flag went up over Fort Funston's parade ground in the early 1900s, the San Francisco Chronicle remarked that it looked more like a frontier post than one near a heavily populated city. Later, this unassuming place became a base for some heavy weaponry: first, the 16-inch guns of Battery Davis, and later, Nike missiles. Today, the barracks have more friendly occupants—the schoolchildren attending programs at the Fort Funston's environmental education center.

You found a place with some freezing mist? That alone would be a treat
for me & my pups. They look like they had a great time. I so wish I had
some place like that beach to go with them. Is it very far for you to drive?

It's about an hour. Longer if you hit traffic, which you usually do on the bridge. Also, we couldn't find it at first, so that took about 10-15 more minutes. But it should only take about an hour.

Casey loves the beach I need to take her soon!

An hour isn't far to go for a whole afternoon of exercising the dogs.
They sleep so well when they really get to do some running.

Looks like a great time was had by all!! Fantastic pictures!!

Cindy:: Sorry to tell you but, if it's misty and freezing, I'm moving in with you. Please clear some space. Thanks!!!

You're right. But I can't take them by myself and getting Bruce to go with me is near impossible. We planned this trip out a week in advance.

LOL We have a couple spare rooms. You might have to share with Jax though. Well, it's not freezing and misty at my house. Just near the ocean. And I read on the site I posted above that late March through October is the best time for the hang-gliders because it is super windy. Not so good for my long hair when I forget to bring something to tie it back with.
