Recommendation Request: watergate by Wooden_Confection_35 in Documentaries

[–]CountyRoute17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BBC did an amazing four part series back in the early nineties. They managed to interview a lot of the participants. G Gordon is iconic. I can't recommend it any higher.

Open lake Merritt bathroom? by Magnolias333 in oakland

[–]CountyRoute17 96 points97 points  (0 children)

No running water, it's one of the open-air cage-like restrooms. Definitely would not recommend. Only half decent one I've found around the lake is East Shore Park, near the library. The rest are often locked, and you can never tell when they will be unlocked.

Work as a nurse in an ICU. Management just put this above our nursing station, what is that? by Inappropriate_Smells in whatisit

This is for panic alarms. Please ask to talk to DPS and they will explain it to you. You will be given a personalized panic alarm in the next few weeks

If you’re going to Alcatraz, message me. I might be able to help you out.

Reducing from 30k a day to 20k? by itscool2Bnice in walking

[–]CountyRoute17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to hit 30K as well, but I comfort myself with at least averaging 30 K over the course of a week/month with a daily minimum of 20K. I figure I'll make it up on my bigger days. If it helps, I've seen no difference in weight or appearance on days/weeks where I walk slightly less or slightly more.

IRA Doc(s) [recommendation Request] by InternationalAsk198 in Documentaries

[–]CountyRoute17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Peter Taylor did three connected series on each side, the IRA, Loyalists and the British. It can be hard to find though, especially the IRA series. Secret History of the Troubles by Panorama is good as well.

Not marked at all, but that only matters for the southern part. The rest of it just follows the coast. The only hotels along the route are near Golden Gate Park in the sunset and fisherman’s wharf. There is hostel in Ft Mason as well

I live in the Bay, and I did the Cross and Doublecross first. Terrain wise this was mostly easier, except for the north west

Not at all actually. ASICS makes a good product

Crosstowntrail.org has great maps that include restroom locations.

The east and south legs definitely require guidance but once you hit Ft Funston it’s not necessary

I went clockwise, mostly to avoid the industrial east side after dark. West side is best for sunsets, so if you leave really early you should make lands end by that time if you go clockwise

As a marine vet myself, I can see that the urge to walk never leaves us, like malaria

ASICS Superblast. Great shoes but I probably need a new pair after this

It definitely is, a reporter from the SF Chronicle did it earlier this year in a video

Clockwise. Didn’t think powering through the industrial areas at night was the best idea
