Seven Bridges Urban Hike

July 12, 2020

There are stars in the southern sky

And if ever you decide you should go

There is a taste of time sweetened honey

Down the Seven Bridges Road

June 28, 2020 Covid-19 Global Gals Gathering

We were finally able to see each other face to face after two months of staying at home. Thanks to all the Gals who joined me to check off an item from my bucket list: the San Diego urban hike featuring seven San Diego bridges.

In keeping with the current public health guidelines, we wore our masks and kept our distance from each other and strangers. We walked through Balboa Park, Banker’s Hill, and Hillcrest where we stopped at Ralphs for a bathroom break. We hiked along a 5.5 miles flat course for about 2 1/2 hours. Here are a couple of links with information about this famous San Diego jaunt:
