2. In San Francisco, California, Paul has his heart set on gazing at the Palace of Fine Arts (one of the most beautiful things ever created out of concrete). I have my heart set on NOT driving the Land Whale in San Francisco. I would like to find a safe, legal and cheap place to dock the Land Whale more or less outside of the City and then take public transportation to the POFA and back.
I suggest you reconsider and drive in SF. The Palace of Fine Arts is almost at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. You can visit there, then just go due south on Van Ness to an on-ramp to get you across the Bay Bridge. Simple, no big hills, and SO much more time-efficient than avoiding SF entirely. Just my two cents...
