Kirby Cove Camping

Kirby Cove Camping

Embarking on a Sunday-Monday camping trip (getting home before the Monday workday!).

Beginning at the train station, trying out the Burley Travoy trailer as camping gear portage:

It was not such a long bike ride from the train station to meet up my friends at the southern span of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Our destination was Kirby Cove, a park located just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.

After a little waiting (I was the first to reach the meeting point) we headed out across the bridge:

Beginning the descent down to the campground:

Campground before bedtime:

And the next morning, my final photos captured before my mad rush to make an early train home before the Monday workday began:

Forever grateful for beautiful experiences like this.

If you are considering giving bicycle-enabled camping a go, take this as a sign to give it a try!
