A couple hotspots on either side of the Golden Gate

My latest bicycle sojourn yesterday took me past two really lovely wildflower spots on either side of the Golden Gate: Along the road between Warming Hut and Fort Point in San Francisco and, on the other side of the gate, the area on top of and near Battery Yates at Fort Baker. As you can see in my observations from yesterday afternoon, 17 March 2020, the former area is exploding with Coast Rock Cress and beautiful Douglas Irises, while the latter is exploding with Dwarf Checkermallow and California Goldenfields.

It's sad to think how beautiful it would have been before these areas were turned into military fortresses and roads were built.

I especially wish that the road between Warming Hut and Fort Point could somehow be torn up. Perhaps they could take out the asphalt and put in a simple dirt road and do more to restrict the traffic into there. Maybe even just get rid of ugly Fort Point entirely! Would you rather see Douglas Irises and Coast Rock Cress or old canons, bricks, and asphalt?

I also wish more areas around the base of Golden Gate bridge were accessible. They treat it like it's a high-security military compound.
