    Was able to make the trek to the geographical center back in 2022. After seeing Huell Howser’s episode on the true center some years ago, was inspired to see it for myself. Do you know when that monument for the true center was installed? It certainly wasn’t there when he did his program.

    • @adventureswithkendall
      @adventureswithkendall 10 дней назад

      The plaque states it was dedicated in November of 1998 and the episode Huell did aired in August of 1995. I think it's safe to say the Huell's research played a role in establishing the true center and the folks of North Fork used that information.

    I just discovered your channel ... and, how appropriate it is to find this installment. I live in the Richmond district of San Francisco, which is the first neighborhood that you come to, as you drive into the city, and through The Presdio. I was among a group of neighbors who celebrated the May, 1987 anniversary. We walked to the bridge, leaving at 4 AM. The "walk" was set to begin at 5:30, but when we arrived, the crowd was already surging, and the California Highway Patrol decided to let it start much earlier. Even at that hour, we were on-and-off the span, before it became what engineers feared was dangerous. I've been around the Golden Gate Bridge, all of my life. It still remains a joy to live so close to a beautiful, functional and historic landmark.

      @@adventureswithkendall I'll look at that ... thank you. The Presidio, after decades of serving as an US Army base, became a National Park, in the late '90's. The updating, to a more park-like accommodation has been amazing. There are a number of commercial offerings, in hotels, eateries, museums, etc.. One of the 2 major approaches to the GG Bridge (that's we call it), was retrofitted wider lanes, and covered into tunnels for streamlined flow.. Above the tunnels, new parkways/walkways have been beautifully designed for walking, picnicking and taking in the beautiful surroundings. And, everything has been done to recognize the history of the Presidio, and the waters of the "Golden Gate," between San Francisco and Marin counties ,,, a significant waterway during the "gold rush," and the establishment of California.
