In Search of Sutro Tower

Since spotting Sutro Tower on the horizon the day before I want to go and see this alien land cruiser up close. Almost 1000 feet high and situated nearby Twin Peaks, it is hard to miss.
And although it's not all that much of a search, finding my way there proved a bit difficult and convoluted.
Here is some interesting reading I ran across while researching:
Climbing Sutro Tower
Antenna Diagrams
and of course Wikipedia

This day of discovery being Superbowel Sunday, I stopped over at Delores Park and layed around in the grass for a good while. Quite a few people have some beverages out and a few less were having a green day.

Mission High School

I planned to bike most of the way to the tower but immediately encountered those infamous San Franciscan hills. Begin walking.


View at 21st and Noe St? perhaps...

After a bit more walking...


Half an hour and a few wrong turns later


Resevoir


Walked over to Twin Peaks

Golden Gate in the distance


The bike ride back down was intense. There are some killer pot holes around here.
Fun part, rode by a speed measuring sign on Market on the way down. 23mph.
