[K6NCG] trip to the Bay Area

[Desmond Crisis]

Great!

My number is 415 547 0044.  Anyone from the club looking to visit is
welcome to call me.  I may not recognize your numbers, so please just leave
a message if I don't answer and I'll call back.  Even better if you send me
a text.

Quite a bit more has changed in the last year.  The Acey-Ducey is gone. The
Nimitz center is behind a fence. Casa De La Vista is gone. The Eagle's Nest
and pretty much everything on the North and West side of Yerba Buena is
gone, including most of the trees.

The Chapel is still here. There was a push to save it which was
successful.  Buildings 1, 2, and 3 are still here.  The Yacht Club is in a
corner of Building 2.  Depending on the schedule, I might be able to get us
into Building 1 and the Cupola if there are any city staffers on duty when
you're here.

Desmond, KC6VHG
