The location is off Potrero Ave, between Julian & Navallier streets. Turn north onto Roger Ct. which goes steeply uphill ending in a cul de sac. One side is the hillside with trees, the other a sweeping view of EC, Brooks & Angel islands and the Golden Gate. If it is not foggy, San Francisco should be center stage. It needs good visibility for the view, but is out of the wind and has a little shade later in the day from the hillside & trees. Park diagonally on the north side.
