Day 31 Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

We left China camp state park at about 9:30 Sunday morning. Our intention was to cross the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco before traffic was bad. Instead of going straight on through without stopping as was the original plan, I turned on some side streets to get to the Golden gate park below the bridge. We found a good parking place and went walking. I even walked out on the bridge. We spent several hours taking pictures and browsing around. It was really terrific even if there was fog. We left the bridge and drove around quite a while getting lost trying to get back to highway 1. Found it after one of many wrong turns through a park where they were having an old car show cruise in. Headed south looking for a campsite. Found one just south of Santa Cruz. It is Seacliff state beach. It is very nice on the beach, but without any hookups, or showers, water, or dump station. All that for $33 per night. We thought being Sunday night that we would have no problems finding a site. We found out that the camp sites are hard to get unless you make a reservation. Everyplace is so crowded out here. Went in grocery store, could hardly get through the aisles, and the parking lot was full. On top of that prices are pretty high. Paid 3.30 a gallon for gas. In the pictures, the first is us driving on bridge, third is city skyline, fourth is Alcatraz.
