Copying DianaB's post from another board:
It's about time we had another Bay Area GSD meet up (and help Siena celebrate her new Bionic Hip). I want to organize this for Saturday, June 26 at 2:30PM at Fort Funston. I have chosen this time because I want to be sure we have some beach in which to frolic on. Last time I was there I found myself scrambling for the cliffs each time the tide came in
The plan is to meet in the open space to the right of the parking lot (look for the porta potties) between 2:15 and 2:30, and start our walk promptly at 2:30 PM (the walk generally lasts about 2hrs).
This is a wonderful off leash area with gorgeous scenery, heaven for dogs that love playing in the water or swimming.
Anyone who plans to come should reply in this thread so we know to look for you before we start our walk. It is best to exchange numbers with at least 2 other members that are planning to attend, in the event that you're running late or get lost. A confirmation list will be posted a day or two prior. Also, FF has limited facilities, just portable toilets, drinking fountains and garbage cans at the top of the dunes. Suggested items to bring are poop bags, towels for your car, balls, frisbees or kongs, a collapsible water dish and water for your dog, grooming implements if you want to get the sand off before your drive home, and of course, a camera. We're hoping for warm weather, but wear layers just in case.
Humans: There is a pretty steep incline that you'll have to climb upon leaving the beach... so eat your Wheaties and start your strength training & squats now
Dogs: There is a mandatory group photo that will be taken at the end, start brushing up on your "sit-stays" or "down-stays" so that you don't embarrass your humans
Hope to see you all there!
Here's a thread with pictures from the last meet in August of last year:
