"The Fremont road, that bends above Oakland from Berkeley to Mills Seminary, after being closed for half a century, is once more open."

"You want to see San Francisco? Well, you must go over to Oakland to see San Francisco. And do you want to see Oakland and San Francisco and the bay of all bays on the globe and the Golden Gate at a glance and all together? Then you must go two miles to the northeast and one mile perpendicular. In short, you must climb to the once famous Fremont road and to the camp where Fremont tented half a century ago and from which spot he named the now famous Golden Gate years before gold was found."

The Story and the Glory of the Golden Gate, by Joaquin Miller - The San Francisco Call - Sunday, August 16, 1896

I’m looking for other #sfbay SWs to follow/form a community with.

Please boost!

This is what to look for this summer 👀

Increased temperatures and longer days = an increased likelihood of harmful algae blooms in the Bay.

But you can help! If you see signs of a bloom please stay out of the water, note down the details & reach out to our pollution hotline: https://baykeeper.org/report-pollution/
