This was a very enjoyable a demo of a working Babbage Difference Engine at the Computer History Museum at Mountain View.

Biking from San Francisco to Daly City
After riding across the Golden Gate Bridge and back, I decided to pedal to Daly City to the bus terminal. My plan was to take the bus back to Foster City. I took a side route along the coastal “Great Highway”, where I sometimes had to walk the Brompton over the sand drifts. I came across Fort Funston and took a picture.
Biking the Golden Gate Bridge
The wind was strong during the ride across. This photo was taken after I came back across. The Brompton foldable did just fine.
Palace of Fine Arts
When biking around downtown, I saw the tip of the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts and decided to get a closer look.
Zumwalt Meadow at Kings Canyon NP
The peaceful Zumwalt Meadow is at the end of the road to Kings Canyon.
Kings River
Kings River runs along much of the road to the bottom of Kings Canyon.
Montara State Beach
Just lazin’ around at Montara State Beach in San Mateo County.
Marin County Curves
Highway 1 south of Stinson Beach in Marin County offers some beautiful views and scary curves. This car ride brought back memories of my 1997 bicycle ride on this road.
Windy Vantage Point
The wind was so strong at this Marin County vantage point I could barely stand in place.
Tuolumne Meadows
This is a shot from this morning’s hike at Tuolumne Meadows. Tuolumne Meadows is part of Yosemite National Park. It’s north of Yosemite Valley and at a higher altitude. After that I headed out for the Bay Area and safely reached my friends’ place. Time to rest.
