Around sundown on 24h0, we headed out towards Ocean Beach. It was an easy ride across town until we hit the beach. We then turned to our right and saw a looming hill ahead of us. Alternating between huffing, puffing, pedaling, and occasionally walking, we slowly made our way up to Land's End as the sun faded away, signaling the nearing end of our day of tasking. We wandered on trails, feeling like perhaps we were already trapped in a labyrinth, lost and wandering, wondering if maybe we should have brought some lipstick to mark the stones.
As the almost full moon illuminated the water, we finally came to a cliff looking out towards the Golden Gate Bridge, and looked down to discover the elusive labyrinth we sought. A scramble down the rocks and we soon found ourselves walking around the labyrinth, playing and pretending the small piles of rocks were actual walls preventing us from crossing them. Or at least that's what I did, while Rubin walked straight through my imagination and directly to the center of the labyrinth.
Then it was time for the slapping game.

The half a labyrinth on google maps looks rather odd and faintly disturbing; like the labyrinth was there first and the hills grew on top.
Almost Lovecraftian, a suggestion of illogical and impossible antiquity.
