I love that!

I visited the San Francisco area for the first time in 1996 when I was sent there on storm duty because of flooding. I will never forget the first time I was driving and emerged from the tunnel to see the Golden Gate Bridge. I had always loved seeing pictures of it but actually laying eyes on it that first time was almost surreal. It is etched in my memory.

Mine too. He seems like a very deserving young man. It's hard to imagine any 18 year old voluntarily cleaning up somebody else's mess. And, starting at 2am. He has my respect.

There is an overlook park on the Marin County side of the bridge that offers a spectacular view of the bridge looking back toward San Francisco. That view is among the most picturesque urban scenes I can recall in my lifetime.
