San Francisco- small thread

Need to take my camera into the shop because it never has taken a very sharp image. It is so annoying. Anyway here are a few San Francisco pictures. Because the clarity is so bad I didn't really take many photos. It is kind of a bummer, Anyway, here they are:







































On the way back we took a road less traveled:









Always stiff for the camera :

A small thread is better than no thread at all, especially when it comes to San Francisco. Thanks for posting these... make me miss that city even more!

Shit! I wished I had deep pockets! Man, even the graffiti back alleys look nice in San Fran. I've been told that San Fran is filled with at least 50 percent victorian houses and looking at these photos seems to confirm that!

I don't know, maybe my computer needs to go into the shop too because these look fine to me. Not quite enough clues in your road-less-travelled shots for me to tell, so where were those taken, if you don't mind my asking? Looks like you stopped by a Mission and a couple look like they could be near San Juan Bautista, but the third one looks a little further south to me, maybe near Paso Robles or something.

We took the 25 south from Hollister to the the 198. South of the 198 we took Peach Tree and Indian School Roads to San Miguel, which was the Mission you've identified. We then took Creston and La Panza Roads to the 58 east and 33 south unitil finally meeting up with the 5 at wheeler Ridge at the bottom of the Grapevine. It was a great way to go. I would say 70% of the way home from San Francisco was thru remote countryside. A majority of the homes you came across (and there weren't many) were vacant and boarded up years ago. In 4 hours we probably only came across a dozen or so cars. Peach Tree and Indian School Road, was a 50 mile stretch where the road was only about as wide as a bike path. It is really beautiful country and it was nice to pull over to the side of the road anywhere and be the only people around. It was my favorite part of our trip.

^Wow, that sounds really nice. I like exploring little country roads and finding spots to get out where no one's around. Did you stop at the Pinnacles?
