Wednesday, April 2nd, 2003 · Comments Off on Commanders of Yerba Buena Island
Jen and I recently took a drive to the top of Yerba Buena Island, adjacent to Treasure Island (where we lived for 3 years). We went all the way to the top, where there’s this Coast Guard tower (yes, we drove right past the “Authorized Vehicle Only” signs during this time of war). We were […]
