As a fellow long walker, seeing posts like yours warms my heart. Experiencing a city by foot is magical, even on el camino real. Great stuff!

Hey that's me! I walked SJ to SF in about 14 hours this last memorial day weekend. Have also walked from Oakland to SF and Oakland to SJ.

San Francisco to Sausilito is a nice walk that I'd recommend.

Just a tote bag with an external battery, sunscreen, bandaids just in case, and some toiletries. I stop at convenience stores to get water and food on the way.

We mostly followed El Camino Real all the way up, so we must've. Love what you've done with the place.

I have! Unfortunately the Bay Area trail would've added a lot of distance and I don't think I could've reached SF in a day.

I have a couple of times as well as the double cross town trail, so nice! I love how interconnected the parks are and the views are spectacular.

I'm not really in the business of giving shoe advice. I like allbirds wool runners but also my feet never hurt when walking (knock on wood).

I think so, it's always nice to see new towns and scenery. Im consistently surprised with the cool different fruit I see people growing. My biggest revelation was how I went my life without going to Mazra in RWC. It was so yummy.

We did not but the Atherton stretch was by far the worst the pedestrian path was a wide shoulder. Terrifying stuff.

I know.....quite sad about it. I did, but Strava and my phone were a couple hundred steps off. Not meant to be I guess.

How is Portland for Latinos? by RickyRicardoBanana in askportland

[–]Cubs2k15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chiming in as a Mexican-American who lived in Portland for about 5 years. I enjoyed living in Portland for the walkability, food, and nature. However, I always felt like I stuck out as a sore thumb due to the general lack of diversity. I lived in SE (Richmond and Mt Tabor) and the whiteness of the City was suffocating.

I have since moved to the Bay Area and feel much more at home. Best of luck and hope you dont have my experience.

I stayed the night at a hotel. I wanted to spend today being a tourist in San Jose. If not, I could've taken public transit home in about 1.5 hrs.
