273. Where To RV in San Francisco and Why You Should Avoid Nomad Internet

I too am a Full House fan! The guy that played Danny Tanners friend who was played by Dave Coulier. He’s from my home state and town. Detroit, Michigan. I loved all those shows you mentioned . Great shows. Glad you saw the house from Full House.

Between Abby's take on IPAs and Jason's stance on apostrophe misuse, y'all are some of my favorite people on YouTube.

This is our backyard so to speak. Word of warning for that Marin RV park, it is prone to flooding with king tides or heavy rain days. Larkspur landing across from the Ferry is a great place. Lots of eating and in the summer they have many food trucks that come out each day which are popular. Odd but true, San Quentin has some of the best views from where its located, Marin has so many places unique places. Belvedere is a quaint little town to visit too right along the SF Bay.

If you were at Old Mill Park, my niece was married there. It's gorgeous!! My Dad loved the Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino area. He'd been stationed in Vallejo and had fully explored the area. So much had changed since then (just after WWII), but all of us (5 children). We all lived in the Mojave Desert, so every summer vacation was straight to the Bay Area! All of us love the area. Two of my sisters and our brother now live there! Vacaville has two RV parks I like to use. It's a good drive to get to the Vallejo Ferry, but I love to be out of the city. I prefer Napa to SF but do enjoy visiting SF and places like Muir Wood. Another great campground, I think state, is Chabot in the mountains above Oakland. Loved it! Wild turkeys, gorgeous pines, just wonderful.

I’m so glad you are explaining about this NoMad internet. I have never heard of it. I’ve heard of the one you mentioned before it. But so glad you are talking about Nomad and explaining it.

So glad you enjoyed San Francisco! I really like that city, too. If I may, the County name is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable- muh-rin’. You are pronouncing it with the accent on the first syllable. The locals will appreciate you saying it correctly.

Yay for the plug for the Mobile Internet Resource Center! They are the best!

I go annually to San Francisco for a concert. My friend and I get around on public transportation. We fly to San Francisco take the sky train I think it’s called to the BART into the city A for those that have not traveled, there is the clipper card is good for the BART the bus and the cable, cars,. we always stay at the same hotel we get around using the cable cars and the bus. And our feet. I have a national Parks pass. I need to use it there next time.

Oh my ears, Point Reyes (rays), ma-Rin', and I'm waiting for the next one... OK I lived there decades ago and enunciation is a pet peeve. But also we are a few months behind, so you I'm taking notes. Keep it up!

Loved waving at the prisoners in San Quentin from the ferry…lol

I agree Abby the lids are extremely hard to get off.

The NYTimes crossword is much better done collaboratively than competitively. We're on a 692-day streak of solving by getting on Zoom (usually) with our young adult children every single day and doing it together. It is a touch base time with our kids who are spread around the country, we've gotten to know much more about our future daughter-in-law as she's joined us, we have a grand time singing songs inspired by clues (well, maybe I'm the only one who enjoys that), and sharing sidebar stories are interesting too. We are a much happier family because of the NYTimes crossword and doing it together. btw, the Sunday isn't the hardest, it is just the longest. Saturday is the hardest. Sunday is about the same as a Wednesday in terms of difficulty. Also btw, you do get better as you learn their tricks and preferences (and as you learn which hunches to ignore bc wrong across entries make the downs actually harder).

You two are the best! Thank you for your excellent reporting on Nomad (allegedly 😅) and sharing your SF experience. I really appreciate the time and effort you devote to ensuring that you are bringing to your viewers fair and factual information on a particular topic. Glad you enjoyed SF!

Jason and Abby I feel for these people that got ripped off by Bob Scott for keeping their money for selling their Rvs. What a thing to do. Very sad. Jason and Abby I would use this’d bins too! Some bins are hard to open and they do hurt your hand or fingers but are to have and use. We had gotten our bins from Home Depot too! Abby I agree with you on the crossword puzzles on Sunday our paper is like that too! It must be from from the same place. I didn’t know Jamie was a writer. I need to go listen to her podcast. Can you let me know what podcast it is again?

I guess they really wanted you be close to your neighbors! Lol! 6 ft. That’s close quarters there!

He is correct in his pronunciation of Ghirardelli.

Welcome to the Bay Area!

So glad you enjoyed the SF Bay Area, sounds like you got to experience some great places with lots left to come back to…..I love it there, and that campground to use the ferries is the best option…

Love San Francisco. Take it from a native Californian it is Ma rin' County. Accent on the rin!

It's good you didn't take your truck into the city. Tons of crime and you need to pay extra for parking a"large vehicle " in their small garages. It's a real roll of the dice as far as crime goes. People are at the point where they leave their car doors unlocked. Glad you are enjoying yourselves!
