Trip to GGB
(OP)
GGB=Golden Gate Bridge :)
I'm going to be in San Fran next month and wanted to see if anyone knows anything in particular I should see at the bridge. Maybe someone knows about a private tour or something that would interest a structural engineer and that the general public doesn't usually see.
Thanks in advance :)

RE: Trip to GGB
Enjoy your trip and try to only go to one touristy place a day if possible.
RE: Trip to GGB
On the south side, try to get off the highway and go back under the bridge to the fort. I was never too much "in awe of" the golden gate/Presido park itself, but you/your guests/spouse might be. Everything in San Francisco itself is walk-able distances, but you'll really stretch your legs getting to everything if you do it in one day. You can do it if you're in good shape. IT WILL BE COLD. IT WILL BE WINDY. Wear a jacket, hat, sweater/coat type wrap. Fisherman's warf is a tourist attraction: one of those "been there, done that" things that you'll want to do once, but not again.
