Not even sure what to call this ex-military observation tower as I am unaware of its name. But I’ll tell you, the views from up there are terrific and with none of those pesky trees in the way. It’s painted FAA red and white like Sutro Tower for a reason – it’s a hazard to navigation it’s so high.

Now, you can’t go there legally I don’t think, judging by the signs that I’m sure are posted on the fence you’d need to climb over to begin your climb. Speaking of which, this thing is all wobbly by design. And that’s fine, but you don’t know how it’s been maintained over the decades. Think about that if you try to climb up.

What’s it still doing standing above the eucalyptus if it no longer has a purpose?

Last time I was up, there were empty beer cans strewn about, so that’s proof that somebody goes up there sometimes. Oh well.

You’ll just have to bide your time and wait for the Golden Gate Bridge to open up to climbers, whenever that happens…
