    Very interesting and informative. I can still picture some of these natural areas across the Bay, at Mission Peak and by Ohlone College. They have some beautiful hiking trails up there, and in the Sunol area.❤

    I lived near Mission Dolores for over a decade. I recognized the hands that built it upon my first visit. I soon learned the brutal history behind the building and that the small graveyard is riddled with their remains. It is a sacred place to me, not for the chirstian trappings, but the sadness behind the site. I go there anytime a loved one falls ill or dies. Thank you for this detailed natural history of our city.

    Immediately look up Harold Gilliam and realize I have his San Francisco Weather book and now am reading San Francisco Bay on Internet Archive. San Francisco is the Northern terminus of the mighty Santa Cruz Mountains. Wow, the origin of the sands is very interesting. As a confirmed amateur naturalist this presentation is fantastic

    I thought Larson's chicken ranch was on the west side of 19th Ave between 19th and 20th - Wawona and Ulloa. The same side as Larson Pool.

    What human in history has ever had immunity to cholera, bubonic plague, smallpox, etc.?
