Steeplechase, EBMUD Registration ~ ExGld
Hello Explorers!
Saturday is quickly approaching and I’m excited to see many of you for Steeplechase. As the event is only a few days away, it gets top billing, but if you look below we’ve also created a registration form for EBMUD. If you know you’re going to that event without the call to adventure, you should sign up. Otherwise the official announcement will go out next week.
Steeplechase 2024
You are cordially invited to partake in the merriest go around San Francisco on Saturday, May 4, 2024. We will meet at the Carousel at Pier 39 at 10am and carouse together from there. What is going to make this year so special is that we’re also going to attempt all four carousels! In years past, we have been satisfied with riding the main three, but this year, and for those that are adventurous enough, we’re planning to also offer the one at the SF Zoo.
Steeplechase is a very family-friendly and new-explorer-friendly event. For those of you who have never heard of our steeplechase event, this is a time for explorers of all stripes to come together to reinvigorate the whimsy in San Francisco by riding each of the carousels that are found within the city limits. Doing this with a large number of people, wearing our jauntiest of jaunty hats, and all laughing together is truly special.
Where: Pier 39 Carousel
When: Saturday, May 4th at 10am. Explorers can come and go throughout the day, for those wanting to do the classic circuit, we’ll likely be wrapping up at Golden Gate Park around 1:30, and those viewing for the quadruple crown we’ll likely be wrapping around 3.
What to bring: snacks/lunch, water, transit pass, and cash for carousel tickets ($14 per adult for the three carousels). Lastly we ask that you trot out your finest carousel-worthy fashion (those jauntiest of jaunty hats!) for this extraordinary Explorer tradition (though don’t fret too much about this).
EBMUD Registration
Registration has begun! There will be a formal announcement next week, but for those of you who are excited to go tour this piece of public infrastructure we have our registration form ready for you. Tour will go from about 10am - 12pm on Saturday, May 18th, and if you’ve never seen it this is the facility located right next to the Eastern terminus of the Bay Bridge.
Again, more info on this will go out after Steeplechase, but I know some of you were excited for this one.
Alright, that’s all for now. I’ll be sending one more Steeplechase reminder on Friday, I’m just so excited!
Semper Explorandum Explorers!
