The Tourist Club


Had a nice time hiking and camping with Mike this weekend, culminating in raucus debauchery at the Tourist Club on Mt. Tam.

We drove to Mill Valley, then hiked to the PanToll Ranger station, set up our tent and then climbed to the top of Mt. Tam. There is a massive ruin up there from some long forgotten military installation. Not quite the picturesqe mountain top one expects.

The fog rolled onto the mountatin in it's typically dramatic fashion, and created a rainstorm beneath the trees. We woke up a bit wet and opted to take the bus down the mountain rather than hike through the still dripping forest. Then we found ourselves at the legendary Tourist Club overlooking the top of Muir Woods. It was a riot and much beer was had, along with Sausages and leiderhosen wearing dancers pranced about. They have three parties a year, Junefest, Summerfest, and of course, Oktoberfest. I recommend checking 'em out!
