RC Boating at Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park has a lot to offer patrons. A few weeks ago I went to see the buffalo pen. That was neat. There were also a number of unexpected things to see, including an RC boat gathering on one of the park's many ponds. Here are some images of the many creative and beautifully crafted boats.


These were my favorite boats, so it was great to get them both in the same shot.


An RC harbor or tug boat, I'm not sure which. When I think of RC boats, I think of fast, speedboat-type things. To see a large, slow, realistic boat was fantastic. This was also superbly crafted and the smoke from the engine smelled great.


That wood boat was very attractive. I'm not sure if it was a kit or hand-made, but it was very nice to look at.


Paramedics, almost causing a crash.


More of the spiffy wood boat.


Oh my goodness! It's coming right at us!


Phew. It veered away before it hit us.


No wonder it was all over! It's being piloted by Gumby, Pokey, and that robot from Lost in Space!

So that's it for the RC boating. I did get on to see the actual bison. I admit, I had hoped to see a real-life M. Bison from Street Fighter, but that didn't happen. So we'll revisit Golden Gate park on Thursday and see the bison and some fly fishing practice.
