This lucky guy was waiting for his turn in the three person elevator to the top of the south tower. Apparently: (A) It is possible to get a tour if you know someone...and are willing to wait two years for one of about four tours per year. (B) There are elevators inside the towers. (C) Robert will try his darndest to talk his way up an elevator for a tour.
The hand painted sign on the inside of the door says:

random facts:

360 feet - depth at the Golden Gate
67,000,000 tons - annual cargo passing through the Golden Gate
1/3 - amount the bay has shrunk over the last 150 years
1/4 - original wetland, riparian, and tidal mudflat habitat remaining
40% - California’s land mass drained by the bay-delta watershed
<50% - fresh water flow coming into the bay compared to 1930

Looks like a sweet little outing. Now that Rad is so big I want to take him on all of that fun classic Bay stuff again so he can really enjoy and dominate it. We recently posted our Easter extravaganzas. We shaved Radley's head to #4 with a #2 fade on the sides because now that the weather is so good he's an all-day, outdoor enthusiast. He wants to roam free from sunrise to sunset.
