Random Thoughts

On Sunday I went for a hike on Mount Tam to try and find the secret bar in the woods I’ve heard is hidden there somewhere — only accessible via a hike. After hiking the wrong way up a steep hill for a half hour, I went back down and hiked the right way up a different steep hill for an hour. Tired and thirsty, I found the sign “Tourist Club - the nature friends” which looks like it’s a marker for something old and abandoned. A small way down that dirt road, the trees parted and I saw an amazing two story Germanic chalet nestled in the forest! The vast decks were filled with folks jubilantly soaking up sunshine and beer.

Finding the Tourist Club is almost as difficult as finding information about it. They don’t have a website. They don’t want to be found. They want to keep their little secret sanctuary in the woods. Far be it from me to blow this little secret. All I’ll reveal is that it’s only open on the weekend, and only for 4 hours each day.

Good luck to those that seek out this hidden gem…have an extra pint for me!
