At 12:15 am PDT we all pulled out of here. Drove into San Francisco. Our permit route took us 100 extra miles out of the way and right through the heart of the tourist district of San Francisco. We went right down the Embarcadero past Fisherman's Warf, Alcatraz boat ferry, and Ghiradelli Chocolate. Ended up in a residential area. Glad we did it at night. We arrived there at 5 am PDT. We had to stage in the middle of the road.
Here is what it looks like in front of us.
We had to go, one at a time, to the other side of the construction barrier and back in off the street into an alleyway to get unloaded. Here is the alleyway.
Once the crane arrived and got set up, the first truck went in. When he was done and out of the way, it was my turn. I backed in without any difficulty. Only had to pull up one time. Oh, one other thing...had to avoid hitting this pipe sticking up out of the concrete. Otherwise the trailer would hit it and get stuck on it.
They lifted the thing off my trailer and I pulled out.
The first truck and I then left with me leading the way out. We were getting very low on hours and could not wait for the other truck. Getting out was just like driving in New York City, lots of traffic and not much room. We drove back to the Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza. Right back where we started. Arrived and parked with only one minute left on my clock. Dinner, shower, and bed. Will pull out of here as soon as my 10 hours is up. Good night. I'm tired.
