Steeplechase - SATURDAY! ~ ExGld
Hello Explorers!
We had an amazing time discovering the many twists and turns that our waste water goes through before it gets released to the greater ecosystem. The Captain’s Report for this is forthcoming but a big thank you to Lily and Drew who wrote the field guide, it was a big relief for me!
As mentioned before, Steeplechase has a new date and it’s this Saturday! Plan accordingly as this is a lovely event for new and old explorers alike. Details are below and expect one final reminder on Friday.
Steeplechase (Saturday!)
You are cordially invited to partake in the merriest go around San Francisco on Saturday, May 25, 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: Starts at Pier 39 Carousel
When: Saturday, May 25th 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 at SF Zoo.
What to bring: snacks/lunch, water, Muni transit pass, cash for carousel tickets ($14 per adult for the three carousels, $18 for the four), and zoo admission fee (if you’re aiming for all four). 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).
