Trespassing by Ben [Sunshine], The Hammer, Not Here No More

August 11th, 2009 8:55 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go somewhere you are not allowed to go.

Well, Ms. SKRAAH was in our fabled city, and I (Bryce) was without things to do. So, our dear friend Ben called me up.

A GROTESQUE OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF THE CONVERSATION WHAT TOOK PLACE:

"Hello?"
"Hi!"
"My friend Sarah is here from New York, and we tried to go to the Jejune institute, and were turned away because we didn't have an adult. We were wondering if you wanted to hang."
"Fuck yes. Let's go to Sutro Baths."

And, so, we did. Ben's fantastic steed Sunspot took it to Sutro Baths.

On to the photos

There's a tunnel at Sutro Baths.

5688_109168687745_616172745_2686859_4564879_n.jpg

For most people, including me before now, it's a big disappointment.


5688_109168707745_616172745_2686860_4895651_n.jpg

5688_109168707745_616172745_2686860_4895651_n.jpg

You go down it


5688_109168737745_616172745_2686862_2258511_n.jpg

5688_109168737745_616172745_2686862_2258511_n.jpg

And then you see this...


5688_109168727745_616172745_2686861_626846_n.jpg

5688_109168727745_616172745_2686861_626846_n.jpg

Fail, right?


5688_109168762745_616172745_2686864_5915694_n.jpg

5688_109168762745_616172745_2686864_5915694_n.jpg

Well, not today, at least.


5688_109168797745_616172745_2686866_7354178_n.jpg

5688_109168797745_616172745_2686866_7354178_n.jpg

Twas time to climb down the rocks.


5688_109168832745_616172745_2686867_448904_n.jpg

5688_109168832745_616172745_2686867_448904_n.jpg

Negotiating the rocks.


5688_109168852745_616172745_2686868_21956_n.jpg

5688_109168852745_616172745_2686868_21956_n.jpg

There was a little platform that was forlorn...looked hard to get to. We passed on it at first.



5688_109168907745_616172745_2686870_3334278_n.jpg

5688_109168907745_616172745_2686870_3334278_n.jpg

Looks like we're running down the graffiti. Stretch. There was broken bottles about as well.


5688_109168922745_616172745_2686871_7897179_n.jpg

5688_109168922745_616172745_2686871_7897179_n.jpg

We are brave adventurers.


5688_109168957745_616172745_2686872_6136117_n.jpg

5688_109168957745_616172745_2686872_6136117_n.jpg

there was this odd rail here, it's rusted countenance intrigued Ben.



5688_109168977745_616172745_2686874_6688633_n.jpg

5688_109168977745_616172745_2686874_6688633_n.jpg

The waves crashed against the rough rocks.


5688_109169012745_616172745_2686876_524674_n.jpg

5688_109169012745_616172745_2686876_524674_n.jpg

An unused bit of coastline.


5688_109169027745_616172745_2686877_5242115_n.jpg

5688_109169027745_616172745_2686877_5242115_n.jpg

On a rock was...this.


5688_109169047745_616172745_2686878_6569614_n.jpg

5688_109169047745_616172745_2686878_6569614_n.jpg

Note: I have no idea what was going on here.


5688_109169072745_616172745_2686879_5374378_n.jpg

5688_109169072745_616172745_2686879_5374378_n.jpg

The rock was epic enough that we decided to photograph ourselves on it.


5688_109169102745_616172745_2686880_3542218_n.jpg

5688_109169102745_616172745_2686880_3542218_n.jpg

More confidant this time.


5688_109169117745_616172745_2686881_3171713_n.jpg

5688_109169117745_616172745_2686881_3171713_n.jpg

Beautiful.


5688_109169132745_616172745_2686882_3459521_n.jpg

5688_109169132745_616172745_2686882_3459521_n.jpg

Ben, he is an epic man. He holds the paddle of epic win, the key to the engine of sunspot.


5688_109169137745_616172745_2686883_3263883_n.jpg

5688_109169137745_616172745_2686883_3263883_n.jpg

RAISE IT HIGH WITH PRIDE! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BEING AND THE WORLD WILL FEEL YOUR POWER!


5688_109169157745_616172745_2686884_3211020_n.jpg

5688_109169157745_616172745_2686884_3211020_n.jpg

Climbing down a flimsy brittle stretch...


5688_109169177745_616172745_2686885_2011939_n.jpg

5688_109169177745_616172745_2686885_2011939_n.jpg

(not sure how ben managed this with the paddle and camera...)


5688_109169197745_616172745_2686886_5504350_n.jpg

5688_109169197745_616172745_2686886_5504350_n.jpg

Caspar David Friedrich Esque, with bird shit.


5688_109169222745_616172745_2686887_8175050_n.jpg

5688_109169222745_616172745_2686887_8175050_n.jpg

We went onto the platform briefly, alas, Ms. SKRAH did not. She had the camera at this point.



5688_109169252745_616172745_2686889_2867426_n.jpg

5688_109169252745_616172745_2686889_2867426_n.jpg

This small cave smelled of piss.


5688_109169292745_616172745_2686891_6439743_n.jpg

5688_109169292745_616172745_2686891_6439743_n.jpg




5688_109169332745_616172745_2686894_1860411_n.jpg

5688_109169332745_616172745_2686894_1860411_n.jpg

Bryce randomly ran...


5688_109169347745_616172745_2686895_4926234_n.jpg

5688_109169347745_616172745_2686895_4926234_n.jpg

WITH GOOD REASON.


5688_109169372745_616172745_2686896_710331_n.jpg

5688_109169372745_616172745_2686896_710331_n.jpg

The others followed suit. Safety, that's silly.


5688_109169382745_616172745_2686897_3182446_n.jpg

5688_109169382745_616172745_2686897_3182446_n.jpg

Gazing down... Sutro: SEE MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR.



5688_109169412745_616172745_2686899_2701533_n.jpg

5688_109169412745_616172745_2686899_2701533_n.jpg

What's all this angst?


5688_109169417745_616172745_2686900_6587554_n.jpg

5688_109169417745_616172745_2686900_6587554_n.jpg

The pathway just ends???


5688_109169427745_616172745_2686901_2106529_n.jpg

5688_109169427745_616172745_2686901_2106529_n.jpg

It MUST be punished.


5688_109169457745_616172745_2686902_6221964_n.jpg

5688_109169457745_616172745_2686902_6221964_n.jpg

The results were just too horrific to photograph.


5688_109169477745_616172745_2686903_1395354_n.jpg

5688_109169477745_616172745_2686903_1395354_n.jpg

Down another staircase



5688_109169497745_616172745_2686904_4567895_n.jpg

5688_109169497745_616172745_2686904_4567895_n.jpg

We see an out of place door.


5688_109169722745_616172745_2686945_3081532_n.jpg

5688_109169722745_616172745_2686945_3081532_n.jpg

Questing around, SKRAAH looking at her foot, wondering if she has broken glass stuck in it. (she did...Ben's mom took it out of her foot...)




5688_109169927745_616172745_2686977_7265717_n.jpg

5688_109169927745_616172745_2686977_7265717_n.jpg

What's this?


5688_109169947745_616172745_2686978_438697_n.jpg

5688_109169947745_616172745_2686978_438697_n.jpg

Well, it's over a wall. Gotta check it out.


5688_109169967745_616172745_2686979_1428566_n.jpg

5688_109169967745_616172745_2686979_1428566_n.jpg

Percariously walking.


5688_109169982745_616172745_2686980_142995_n.jpg

5688_109169982745_616172745_2686980_142995_n.jpg

Well, at least it looked cool.


5688_109169997745_616172745_2686981_4325614_n.jpg

5688_109169997745_616172745_2686981_4325614_n.jpg

Skraah checks it out.


5688_109170022745_616172745_2686983_2021197_n.jpg

5688_109170022745_616172745_2686983_2021197_n.jpg

Down, we looked, there were numerous organic growths on the rocks.


5688_109170042745_616172745_2686984_888564_n.jpg

5688_109170042745_616172745_2686984_888564_n.jpg

Up the fame flight of stairs.


5688_109170047745_616172745_2686985_2934232_n.jpg

5688_109170047745_616172745_2686985_2934232_n.jpg

Through the wilderness with bryce looking...scary.


5688_109170052745_616172745_2686986_3935869_n.jpg

5688_109170052745_616172745_2686986_3935869_n.jpg

We walked across the field, to Sunspot.


5688_109170062745_616172745_2686987_1279894_n.jpg

5688_109170062745_616172745_2686987_1279894_n.jpg

Then went to Ben's house in Berkley. Yes, Ben paddled sunspot on the freeway. (Worry not, it was in standstill traffic)
