We were heading North towards the City, down around Millbrae, then getting to South City. We were cresting a rise (that isn\u2019t really there) and turning the corner onto that stretch that goes over the water. At the top of the rise the highway was cut by a swath of asphalt with radical scratch marks along its length. As we slowed, approaching this thing, suddenly a river freighter shot across the freeway, skidding on this patch, then continued sliding off of the road on the right, where it turned left and plopped into the water of a system of locks, ready to descend to the level of the bay. The thing that got me was that although I\u2019d never seen this before it seemed like such a logically kewl way to solve a problem. The person driving the car said \u2018oh yeah it\u2019s been like that for ages\u2019. Still I was so intrigued I determined to get on the freighter at its next stop and follow it along its route. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ship travelled down thru locks that were set up like some crazy roller coaster: narrow and linear, all downhill to a lake at the bottom. I got off the boat and got onto a really short train: two cars long. Neat old RR that took us to several stations, all small, one with a dining room (I musta been hungry) but we didn\u2019t eat. Interesting architecture. Got off the train, went up a ski lift to get back on the boat, which had somehow gotten back uphill, to the height of the freeway. Weird dream, yes?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
