I hear stories of hikes in the bay all the time: fun, scenic, awesome hikes.  After more than three years in the city, I finally got to go on my first one and it really lived up to the hype!  We took a trail around Lands End by master trail guide Sang.  It was nice to be outside taking in fresh air, enjoying nature and the scenery around the city.  The only times I’m ever outside are for golf, football & softball.  I guess golf is a bit like hiking, with a swing of the golf club here and there… and less talking.  Anyway, we had an amazing bbq prepped by chef Brian after the hike and lasted throughout the night.  Unfortunately, the bbq was at Ocean Beach where the wind never stops blowing, and it drops to unbearable temperatures from barely bearable temperatures very quickly.  I am convinced you should never stay out in Ocean Beach for more than 2 hours… and never after sunset.
