      Dirt roads in SF? Yes there are some. I happened to go up one for work the other day. I forgot to write about it, I read this article some time ago and I remembered it as I hit the dirt, I had a new Ranger to traverse it as well, it wasn't major off road but there was a big drainage hump that would probably high center a normal car. Basically there are only houses on the ends of these roads, the rest of it runs behind lots. The first pic is of the only paved part, there is some kind of school at the bottom and then the house to the right is where we ran fiber optics (Google guy just moved there). This is Poppy Lane, in the article you can see the others. Google street view has some shots as well.

        I love exploring little-known passages and roads in the middle of busy cities.

        Should I look forwards or backwards in life? Well, where's the engine?

            @captdale-is-secretly-british You aren't kidding, there are some awful ones that are too busy to shut down and they are getting worse.

              @chan Yeah when I get my old truck done I think I will take a GoPro down them and put them up on You Tube. People like to walk their dogs on them from what I see.

                Case in point.

                  @415s30 I went to look at a house yesterday afternoon in up in the oakland hills, if you couldn't see the city from the porch you'd think it was out in the country.IMG_20201117_142935637.jpg

                  Also a sweet VW in the neighbors yard.

                    @jminer Yeah a guy in my union lives up there, he is married to a pretty important publishing exec and it looks like you are at Tahoe or something. I like Larkspur but I wish I could live in west Marin with some space.

                      @415s30 I'd love to live up there, the new gig is I'm San Jose though and that'd be a hell of a drive when I have to go in. This place wasn't that nice, the layout was really strange too. Didn't end up liking the place but the neighborhood was cool.
