6:31
walking one direction like looked at the
6:33
camera

it's hard to say very overcast so
6:39
tough to see not a lot of sun out at the
6:41
moment there it is

11:08
yeah this is a
11:09
quite the incline going down notice how
11:12
a little archway still looks the same
11:14
and even a few people kind of dangling
11:16
there out there on the windowsill
11:19
sitting as well obviously put this
11:23
fence up because a lot of people would
11:25
try to go up there and recreate though
11:27
sitting on the windowsill routine or on
11:30
the on the stairs
11:32

11:39
these very stairs
11:40
7 10.
11:48
all right peace
12:01
and climbing up this incline is gonna
12:01
definitely give legs a workout a little
12:02
bit
12:03
check out the the haze and the fog up
12:05
there
12:07
towards the top of that hill
12:11

12:56
this is a quite an incline
12:59
wow you slip on one of these leaves
13:04
take a little it's almost like a slide
13:12
all the cars are parked kind of sideways
13:12
instead of the traditional
13:27
almost made it back down to
13:27
the subject road in question oh that was
13:29
pretty neat walking through those leaves
13:30
like that
13:31
right here on delmar where where his
13:33
little sign says
13:34
men working above at 32 which is that

14:33
over on that building i see george

one day i'm gonna do that and there's
14:48
janice
14:49

15:03
that scared jerry garcia right
15:10
i'm gonna say yes a beardless jerry
15:10
garcia
15:48
that's a pretty good mural to be in
15:48
front of right there
15:51
i don't know where where i don't know
15:53
with my hands
15:54
there you go perfect all right
16:02
stay right there hold on do it better
16:02
like this there we go
16:22
oh it's a top of a mushroom there
16:22
this whole little little vestibule
16:24
gazebo is a mushroom
16:31
a spaceship about to cross over now
16:34
towards amoeba records the first amoeba
16:37
records
16:39
was right here in san francisco right
16:41
down the block there
16:42
there are a couple more there's one in
16:43
hollywood and where's the other one
16:46
and berkeley here we got gemini crickets
16:48
more
16:49
more more rebellious cousin
16:53
jiminy cricket's rebellious cousin
16:55
stoney crooked
17:25
i was just contemplating this is the
17:25
first ever amoeba
17:26
records that i have been in outside of
17:29
the one in hollywood the one in
17:30
hollywood moved over from on
17:33
sunset and is now located on hollywood
17:35
boulevard
17:36
so this would be the only one other than
17:38
the one outside of hollywood and the
17:40
first one
17:40
looks very very similar i think it might
17:43
not be quite as big as the hollywood
17:44
ones though
17:45
gotta get me one of these suits here
17:48
that's a little helmet on there
17:50
oh this seems like a pretty rocking band
17:52
there's a there are a bunch of amoeba
17:54
i see what they did there
17:59
all that fog up there at the top of the
17:59
hill
18:22
very blustery walk
18:22
through golden gate park and this hill
18:25
you see up here this little incline in
18:26
the grass
18:28
it's known as hippie hill they realize
18:31
the soul of natalie and for me but this
18:32
tree
18:34
has a janis joplin tie-in as well
18:38
oh hello there hello
18:42
goodbye
18:49
what was the janice album that she was
18:49
on the motorcycle next to the tree on
18:51
her greatest hits the greatest hits
18:53
album it's flat on top she used to sit
18:55
on top of it
18:56
okay wow she would sit on top of this
18:59
and there's the hill right behind her
19:01
sitting on the motorcycle
19:03
that's so neat we are underneath not
19:06
that we need any shade because it's nice
19:07
and crisp and cool
19:09
underneath janice's tree she would have
19:12
climbed up this on occasions and
19:14
kind of perched on top of it very unique
19:19
i'm noticing these apartments up here
19:21
these well this this house condos
19:23
they has the illusion as if they're
19:25
leaning in
19:26
and out and back and forward but if you
19:28
notice i can't tell if they really are
19:30
if it's just an optical illusion
19:56
i didn't realize that golden gate park
19:57
is so
19:59
massive size wise
20:07
still all part of golden gate park this
20:07
amphitheater over here
20:21
beethoven says even though it says no
20:23
skateboarding
20:24
some will skateboard
20:28
it's very silhouetted out there that's
20:31
there's
20:31
beethoven at the top of that pillar
20:49
that just to show a layout of the land
20:49
here for the park itself
20:51
kind of started up there at hippie hill
20:53
was up near near the panhandle
20:55
was it kind of up near the panhandle
20:57
yeah we were up here in hippie hill
20:58
right
20:59
after standing street and then we took
21:02
the transportation down to about here
21:06
walked across kind of meandered around
21:09
in here right here we're gonna go get
21:10
some food
21:12
over here off to this side and then
21:14
we're gonna take
21:15
the muni all the way down and end
21:19
the day at the bison paddock
21:22
or at least somewhere in that area yeah
21:24
you just see how far probably
21:26
i don't know four or five miles from
21:28
point a to point b on the
21:30
that whole is that a good guess
21:36
yeah that's a lot it's a long golden
21:36
gate park ended up stopping into a place
21:39
called crepe vine
21:41
and the the portions of food i ended up
21:43
getting the fish tacos
21:45
with little side potatoes and a salad
21:48
quite a bit of food and i also got a
21:50
sunset crepe which was pretty decent
21:54
size also
21:55
and where'd you end up getting natalie i
21:57
got the barbecue pulled pork sandwich
21:58
it's like my favorite thing there
22:00
i've like dreamt about it for like the
22:02
past few weeks barbecue
22:04
pulled pork sandwich a lot of food i am
22:07
beyond full right now place was really
22:10
good
23:12
and now going back into another section
23:12
of
23:12
golden gate park located at the end
23:15
portion near the beach
23:18
gonna walk over and see if we can see
23:19
the buffalo
23:21
just the sheer magnitude and size of it
23:24
at the base all the way up
23:35
compared to that structure below it just
23:35
towers over
23:37
can barely see them there across the way
23:40
kind of in the next little property over
23:42
from this fence line
23:45
it might not graze all the way up close
23:46
to the road
23:48
but there are quite a few bison i see at
23:49
least one one two walking together
23:52
and then another two or three by that
23:55
tree off in the distance
24:00
right here in golden gate park some
24:00
bison
24:06
just doing laps just walking around kind
24:06
of that's kind of how i feel the last
24:08
the last day or two a lot of walking
24:14
you're getting their steps in too
24:18
that is so cool
24:24
oh yeah there's like two more over there
24:24
there's like four
24:26
yeah there's the two walking and then
24:28
there's two
24:29
underneath the trunk of the tree or the
24:31
limbs of the tree and there's another
24:32
one kind of
24:33
past those two and then there's two more
24:36
over that hill
24:37
i don't know if i'm going to get a
24:38
better view than this i'm standing up
24:39
one of the park benches
24:41
kind of over the chain link there
24:45
moderately zoomed in now that bison
24:48
comes to say hi
24:50
and then you got the other two up there
24:51
still doing laps there's a lot of bison
24:53
in there
24:58
i don't see 13 of them but if there was
24:58
i would say there was a baker's dozen a
25:02
i hope one of them's name is bill bill
25:04
the bison
25:05
buffalo it's been a long day it's been a
25:08
lot of walking
25:10
it's a good enough place to end the
25:11
video as any it's getting later in the
25:13
afternoon
25:14
into early evening
25:19
we are standing on a park bench right
25:19
here
25:20
right here on top of there with the
25:28
bison over there says dogs must be
25:30
on a leash if they're in this area
25:36
because the dogs will probably chase
25:36
after the bison the bison will start
25:37
running rampant
25:39
oh strolling over so i could kind of get
25:42
a closer look to do the outro
25:44
thank you bison even though your tail is
25:48
turning towards okay you're turning back
25:49
around
25:50
you're gonna do the you're gonna do the
25:52
outro okay and now you're obscured by
25:54
that pole
25:56
dang it bison just move over another
25:59
couple feet
26:01
not gonna do that huh oh there you are
26:04
okay now you get camera shy
26:07
that's gonna do it for today see you in
26:10
the next video bison
26:30
good to see you bisons wait what's the
26:30
plural bison bison
26:32
i think buffalo is the pearl isn't vice
26:34
in the pearl but
26:36
plural no buff so you got bison
26:40
but i think bison is one you think
26:43
buffalo's the
26:44
plural of vice or what what i haven't
26:46
thought the way i thought that bison
26:47
yeah bison's a pearl
26:49
plural buffalo but i probably not
26:52
i'm not too keen on my buffalo oh you're
26:54
thinking bison is the plural of buffalo
26:57
that's all the things oh you know what
26:58
that makes more sense
27:00
i think it could be wrong i don't know
27:02
either i thought
27:03
because i would say look there's one
27:06
or you're right you know what you're
27:07
probably right that's one buffalo
27:10
but over there
27:20
aren't a bunch of bison or bison
27:20
