Maverick Day at San Diego Zoo

[WestCoastDriver]

It was a good day to hike the mesas and canyons at the San Diego Zoo. Blue sky, sunny w/ high clouds, today's high: 72°F. As a retired guy with an annual membership, it's a regular workout.
January typically sees an ebb in visitors, so zoo maintenance is more active. The plants and animals are the primary maintenance consideration, of course, but the zoo's infrastructure is massive, and upkeep is ongoing.
Most of the maintenance vendors drive their vehicles directly into the zoo, parking at the activity site. It's not unusual to see a cluster of working trucks in front of exhibits. Today I noticed the obligatory gaggle of F-150s, and a few Rangers. Also noticed several Mavericks in their working dress.

➔ TK ELEVATOR REPAIR JUST OUTSIDE THE GIANT PANDAS

➔ MY MAVERICK IN THE LOT. 10 MONTHS POST-PURCHASE, STILL PARKING IN THE "SAFE" PLACES, TAKING THE LONG WALK.

That is not a trivial question. There's serious anger in this town over the recently imposed parking fees at the zoo and all of Balboa Park. It's a pretty big deal. As a zoo member, I get comp'd in for parking in the zoo lot. It's a perk of membership.

Awesome! We live in San Diego as well and funnily enough my wife and kids were there yesterday as well! We have the season passes so we go frequently.
