The Octagon House hidden in the woods just below the Fort Miley ruins is now enclosed by a chainlink fence. If they ever open it up to the public, how’re they gonna keep the ubiquitous graffiti off it? Pix: 1 thru 6

Fort Miley ruins: 7, 8. 9

Up from the picnic area is a parking lot for the VA hospital buildings. Circle round this west side, then the north. 

Soon you’ll come to a picnic area below the parking lot that many Lands End visitors aren’t aware of, yet it’s been several years since it was created. 

It’s looking better now than Ive ever seen it with plants finally showing up nicely, especially alongside the first flight of 71 steps down. 

There are several benches, picnic tables and low walls to sit on down here: 10 thru 26  

Keep going up the other side for 66 more steps: 27 thru 33

More viewbenches at the top: 34, 35

Continuing east, now to the top of the Battle of the Buge Memorial Trail, mostly a curvy trail with steps art each end (22 total) down to a parking lot for the Legion of Honor Museum: 36 thru 39

Continuing east on El Camino del Mar, benches along the road: 40 thru 44

    I like meandering around on San Francisco's park trails and public stairways, sometimes taking photos, and enjoying nature and the outdoors.
