Go! Explorers!
Back to form as our first normal expedition in a couple of months is Transit Nerd’s Day Out this Saturday, August 9th, will you be joining us? We’ll be meeting at Powell St Station (near the cable car turnaround) at 1pm. read up on more of the details below.
Transit Nerd’s Day Out
Ho Explorers! Captain Lark here. As many of you know, I am a fan of trains. I love riding them, and seeing them, and visiting museums related to them. Recently I was speaking with several other explorers and discovered that they had never visited the two transit museums in San Francisco, the Cable Car Museum, and the San Francisco Railway Museum. Several of them had never ridden a cable car! One had never seen the boat tram! Realizing that perhaps others in our guild may find themselves in a similar predicament, I immediately began to plot a route through the beautiful grey streets of San Francisco that highlights some of my favorite transit gems. Come join me to experience, gush over, and learn about transit in SF at the "Transit Nerd's Day Out."
When and Where
We will meet at 1:00 pm, Saturday August 9, above the Powell BART station, near the cable car turnaround. Look for the flag! After riding several different forms of transit and visiting two transit museums, we will end at the Ferry Building around 4:00 pm.
What to bring
A clipper card or muni app with $11.85 loaded onto it
Optional cash to spend at the Cable Car museum gift shop (it's a great gift shop, but only accepts cash!)
Good walking shoes
Layers for the unpredictable SF weather
Sunscreen and a Jaunty Hat for some outdoor train waiting time
Love of trains
