Most areas around here have streetlights and spotlights (even coit tower..), so I couldn't think of anything closer. <br /><br />SwapnaSwapna Joshinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351124682213901690.post-10358774516373023022011-12-14T05:29:27.524-08:002011-12-14T05:29:27.524-08:00Ocean Beach should be fine.

I find that fog usually clears up in the early morning hours. I was thinking of getting to ocean beach around 1 am and staying for a couple hours. <br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />Thanks!Swapna Joshinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351124682213901690.post-85657273510049238302011-12-14T00:40:10.158-08:002011-12-14T00:40:10.158-08:00I would love to have seen that, it sounds amazing....I would love to have seen that, it sounds amazing.
