The hike was a fine success, starting off with the sharing of ancient documents about an AASCEND member’s ancestors who were themselves members of the very Legion of Honor on whose memorial steps we convened. The weather was superb, and it was free day in the Legion of Honor building itself, providing very welcome bathroom access! There was a lot of friendly conversation and high spirits. Here are some pictures from the day. We hope to see you at an AASCEND hike soon \u2013 they are a lot of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n

One of AASCEND’s members has ancestors in the actual Legion of Honor, and we’ll have the engraved documents<\/strong> on hand for folks to look at. From there we’ll hike to Land’s End,<\/mark> <\/strong>near where we have started the hike in past years. We’ll stop for a rest and snack there and then loop back. <\/p>\n\n\n
