It was late Saturday afternoon and things were a little slow around the apartment, so I made the short drive out to Fort Funston. Given the weather had taken a general turn for the worse - it was pouring earlier in the day and would really pour later that night - I was lucky to get a beautiful late afternoon sunbreak.
It was partly the aesthetics and the hang gliders, but it was also the geology that made my brief excursion compelling. High bluffs, enormous landslides, and the San Andreas fault going out to sea just a couple miles to the south (see Gravel Beach for a more geologic interpretation of the last few days). I probably spent less than 40 minutes at Fort Funston, before taking a circuitous drive back through Daly City, exploring the path of the fault as it cuts through residential neighborhoods and schools.
