Battery Townsley
Care, her friend Ruth, and Jon took a ranger-guided hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) to Battery Townsley, a WWII-era gun battery built to defend San Francisco from Japanese attack. The hike featured a tour of the actual battery by a retired park historian. It was pretty interesting to hear the history of the battery and imagine what life was like for the soldiers manning the battery. The hike was good, too, with beautiful views of the GGNRA, San Francisco, and the Pacific Ocean
