If you live in SF and looking for pandemic exercise this book did the trick. I walked all 49 miles in 21 days! Super entertaining walks....

My aunt who lives in Daly City (near San Francisco) lent me this book last year when we came to visit and allowed me to take it to Armenia, and I finally read it because I really missed San Francisco after watching the Monk tv series. I learned LOTS about the 49 Mile Scenic Drive and loved the history and culture bits. A very fun read, and I hope to be able to live it out and walk it someday once the worldwide crisis is over. Just saw several typos in the book which I hope will be edited in the next editions. Anyways, it was great!
