Painted Ladies of Alamo Square
Painted Ladies
Alamo Square Park consists of four city blocks at the top of a hill overlooking much of San Francisco, with a number of large and architecturally distinctive mansions along the perimeter. It is bordered by Hayes Street to the south, Fulton Street to the north, Scott Street to the west, and Steiner Street to the east. The park includes a playground and a tennis court, and is frequented by neighbors, tourists, and dog owners. A row of Victorian houses facing the park on Steiner Street, known as the painted ladies, are often shown in the foreground of panoramic pictures of the city's downtown area. On a clear day, the Transamerica Pyramid building and the tops of the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge can be seen from the park’s center. San Francisco’s City Hall can be seen directly down Fulton Street.

Cache container is a M258A1 Military Decontamination (Decon) Box.

This cache contains an irwinSports pathtag for FTF.

Grabbed this one while doing a virtual very close to it. Beautiful view and the clouds respected us enough to part long enough for a good photo of downtown. Cache was in great shape and not too many people around... though there was a guy and his dog hanging out for a while just before we zeroed in on it. TFTC TNLNSL!
