Location
Between Great Highway (upper) and Great Highway (lower) south of Lawton Street, San Francisco
Participants
Plans
Almost none. I saw that the point was accessible to my office, so I stopped by.
Expedition
Drove to corner of Lawton and Great Highway from work. Parked. Walked along separator strip until I found the point. Walked back to car, had lunch in neighborhood, went back to work.
Great Highway in San Francisco comes in two parts. The upper part is right by the cliffs to the beach, and has almost no cross streets. There are lights for pedestrian crossings. The lower part is the westernmost street of the Sunset District, has houses and street intersections on the east side. Between the two parts is a fairly wide strip that's mostly grass and low scrub, sloping down to the lower part, with a paved bike path at the top, occasional landscaping and restroom facilities. The hashpoint was right below where the flat part of the median starts to slope down, a few hundred feet south of Lawton Street.
