tschuy 🏳️🌈 @tsch.uy · 22hSeattleites, what're you doing Thursday? That's right, going for a hike (and transit trip audit) for #WeekWithoutDriving! 011
tschuy 🏳️🌈 @tsch.uy · 29/09/2026Still in absolute awe of @mysfpuc.bsky.social's Fifield-Cahill Ridge Trail that I hiked on Saturday with a group for Transit Month. What a way to round out the month! The trail requires a docent to protect the rare habitats, which are probably some of the most beautiful I've seen on the peninsula. 072

tschuy 🏳️🌈 @tsch.uy · 04/08/2026One of the biggest gaps in California transit right now is the lack of a cohesive intercity network.

I've never been to the Bay Area's best example of a place that's both, Alamere Falls. There's an informal trail the NPS would really rather you not use. And one of their 3 alternatives starts at the bus! 1150
