[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 4254407, member: 50724"] Pratt Kansas to the Presidio of San Francisco in the Summer of 1984 to do my USAR duty at the post veterinary clinic. Did it (1700 miles) in a 1978 Thunderbird. No hotels were involved. I did sleep a few hours in a road-side park in western Utah. I drove into the city on 101 from the North. As I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, the sun was setting and shining on the Pacific, the bay, and the city. I'd never seen salt water or a city that big before. I thought to myself "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!". The other thing I remember about the last few miles until I checked into billeting, was that the long hood on a Thunderbird did not mix well with the SF hills. I had to pull more than I liked into each intersection to see ahead instead of up. That summer was a blast! Skipped my sister's wedding to do it; did not go to her next two either :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
