On the 4th of July 2016 I went on a 2 day trip from Fairfield Ca to San Francisco for the Independence Day Holiday. The City has it's share of The good, bad , and ugly but overall it was a okay experience. Riding the MUNI lightrail line #L to Ocean Beach and as usual it was a very foggy day.
Golden Gate Park
DUTCH WINDMILL
Located on the far western edge of Golden Gate Park stand two wooden windmills that were built to pump groundwater for irrigating the park’s lawns and gardens, helping to transform the dunes that once covered the area. After lobbying by Park Superintendent John McLaren and others, the North, or Dutch, Windmill was built in 1902. It was such a success that it was followed by the South, or Murphy, Windmill, begun in 1905 and completed in 1907 after delays caused by the 1906 earthquake.
