Berry Bushes

Back to the (now two) Paul Goode field area in the Presidio on a no-rain day for more exploration of this neighborhood's new look.

Planned to take the old trail I used before all the fences  blocked the route a couple years ago. 

Starting off from Lovers Lane and west a short distance. Part of the old trail has been somewhat altered: 1 thru 6 

Upon reaching the old familiar part, the trees remembered were still there and so were the blackberry bushes. The narrow trail next to the bushes has been widened and a walkway added below.

10 new steps down and a few more to the new restrooms. There’s a new parking lot and some picnic tables. Another short stairway is on the east side.

Over to the east ziggy-trail for El Polin but instead of descending this time, around the west field and back again as the walkway isn’t trhru. 

The makeover:​ 7 thru 35

The main trail now curves down from West Pacific Ave. at the south edge of the park just east of Julius Kahn Park.

Back to Lovers Lane: 36 thru 43
