Ok now, we had promised the kids we would be able to cross over the Golden Gate Bridge.. and we *tried* to set out in time to get there before dark.. and we *thought* it would be easy to find, you know being the Golden Gate Bridge and all! Well, what we didn't realize is that Highway 101 to the Golden Gate Bridge happens to take you right through DOWNTOWN San Francisco! Now normally that wouldn't be an issue.. had we not been pulling a 27' trailer! It all worked out ok.. the buses and Grady were courteous to one another and would take turns in their lane positions. (the trailer and bus couldn't fit side by side in the 2 lanes of traffic heading toward the bridge!)
(who woulda thought Highway 101 takes you through SF? ;-))
It did get a bit dicey though when the traffic signs told us to curve to the left with the rest of the traffic and the GPS said to keep straight at the curve. We ended up in a tight, hilly area.. but after some positioning and making a 4 block 'around the block' we got back on the right track. We decided after that to go with what we see, not necessarily with what the GPS is telling us! LOL!
It was dark when we crossed and there was road construction everywhere so it was a bit anti-climatic. But for Grady, he was just happy to get out of busy down town San Francisco!
