A slice of nature in San Francisco's most industrial neighborhood
Welcome to Heron's Head Park. This little spit of land North of
Hunters Point is landfill originally intended to be the foundation
of Pier 98, perhaps even the West side of a second Bay Bridge.
Instead, bay waves lap its shores and a marsh has taken hold on its
Southern side. Walk to the end, have a seat. Consider that the
nature around you, while threatened, is tenacious rather than
fragile, and ultimately triumphant. Look for birds, harbor seals,
runners, the old PG&E plant, and occasional, but harmless,
homeless folk. Recently, a new sign was posted:
I have adopted this cache from Walruz. It is now a small container,
previously holding cat treats. Bring a pen/pencil. Initial
contents: Marine Mammal Center Bookmark, sea lion key chain, hand
wipe, small log
The cache has been moved away from muggle magnets. It's not at
the tip, but nearby.

Checked today. Yes, there are signs of residence. And the cache is gone. It had a good run. Too bad someone had to ruin it.

I sure hope it's not gone. Between Walruz & me it's been there for 5! years. Will check it out soonest.

A homeless muffle has made this area his home. I think it's gone.
