The Urban Backpackers Summer 2011

[gswarriorz]

What's good NT?

So me and a couple of my friends are going to explore the Bay Area in a new way this summer... BY FOOT! No train, bus, or any mode of transportation, just walking... For 5 days, we will travel from San Jose to across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County, video taping the entire journey... The point is not to see if we can walk the distance but to rediscover a region that we have lived in our entire lives... We feel that there is still so much we have yet to experience in the Bay Area and we figured the best way to see it all would by foot... We will be hitting up as many local bars, restaurants, shops, cafes and places of interest as we can... We hope that we will be able to shine light on these local hotspots and help support the local businesses in our neighborhoods!

We appreciate all the support and we'd love to hear what you guys think of the idea!

Please visit our website for more info: http://theurbanbackpacker...an_Backpackers/HOME.html
And please "LIKE" us on FB to stay updated with our journey! http://www.facebook.com/TheUrbanBackpackers

Note: There is an Urban Backpackers thread in the NorCal Regional Section already for people within the Bay Area that would like to suggest places... I wanted to post it here to get more awareness and more feedback on the general idea of Urban Backpacking... Link: http://niketalk.yuku.com/...ING-BAY-AREA-SUMMER-2011

Yup its a about 50mi from San Jose to the Golden Gate but since we're gonna be hitting up places not on the direct route we might be doing up to 15-20mi a day...

We jus took on the 5lbs. Burritozilla from Iguanas in San Jose... Vid is on the website if u wanna see how it went down!

Jus gotta see what happens lol sleeping out in the street is definitely an option, especially since we may be in between cities at night... Hopefully we can get North Face to throw us some free sleeping bags for our trip!
