Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. The idea is very simple. You need a GPS receiver, a map, and a small item to exchange when you find the cache. You load the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cache into your GPS receiver and navigate your way to find the cache, typically some sort of water-tight container like a Tupperware box or an old army ammo box. Inside you'll find a collection of items other people have left behind in exchange for items they took. You'll also find a log book and a pencil so you can log the date and time you found the cache, as well as any comments you want to make.

The O'Brien is approved by the American Bureau of Shipping, certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, and fully seaworthy -- the only active Liberty Ship in original configuration. Operated as the National Liberty Ship Memorial, she is moored at Pier 45, Fisherman's Wharf and open to the public most days. Virtually the entire ship from engine room to flying bridge can be seen by visitors. Boilers are "lit off," and the 2500-horsepower, triple-expansion reciprocating steam main engine is operated on Steaming Weekends (normally the third Saturday and Sunday of each month) so visitors can see the engine plant in action.

Coit Tower is a notable landmark built atop Telegraph Hill at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco. In her words, Lillie Hitchcock Coit bequeathed one-third of her estate to the City of San Francisco "to be expended in an appropriate manner for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city which I have always loved." Contrary to popular belief, Coit Tower was never intended to resemble a fire hose nozzle nor meant to be dedicated to firefighters, although there is a Coit statue dedicated to firefighters located at nearby Washington Square Park.
