April 9, 2017 Elsa came up sick so just two of the original three Lunch Bunchers are headed to San Francisco to the oldest continuously running restaurant in San Francisco, {link}The Old Clam House.
Heading west on Hwy 4 from Stockton to Brentwood to pick up Grandma. That is cloud shrouded Mount Diablo dead ahead.
This is The Old Clam House. Open since 1861. We arrived about 10 minutes before they opened at 11:30AM because the traffic though heavy was less than I had expected. That is why there are no people in here.

Entrance to the restrooms.
The bar.

Phooey I had my drink container turned the wrong way in the above photo.

Lots of old stuff on the walls.
Here is their historical plaque.
Who remembers the San Francisco Seals a team that Joe DiMaggio played for.
Cayuga Park: {link}Description of Cayuga Park
These carvings were all done by Filipino immigrant Demetrio Braceros, who turned a once seedy, crime-ridden park into a magical world of art.
Then it is off to find Billy Goat Hill: {link}Description of Billy Goat Hill Park
Twin peaks is about 2 miles to the left of the angle these photos were taken.
The park is in Glen Park neighborhood but between here and the building of the downtown are the Noe Valley, Castro and Mission Districts.
The hill above the end of the street is Bernal Heights hill.
This was shot in a more southeastern direction to show the walking trail down the hill.
