Local Area: Pt Reyes
Rows upon rows of new seven hundred thousand dollar homes going up everywhere
There's the little clump that I call home on the other side of the tracks near the power plant where a blue collar worker can afford to live
My humble little cul-de-sac
Just down the river a bit is the mothball fleet. This is (was) the USS Iowa BB-61
Both of the ships I was on when I was in the Navy are here now
Some of these boats have been here for a long, long time
This looks like a recent arrival, not sure what the heck it was. Those are some odd looking containers
Carquinez Strait with Martinez and Mt Diablo. We're on our way to the coast then up to Pt Reyes
A whole pack of becalmed sailboats out on the bay
The 'Rock' (Alcatraz)
Always an inspiring sight - Golden Gate Bridge
At least the sailboats have some wind out here
Crissy Field used to be a landing strip back in the old days
Just north of the Golden Gate the coast is pretty rugged, just mountains then sea with nothing much in between
There are trails down to some isolated and spectacular beaches further north
Pt Reyes has long stretches of open beach along both the north and south sides
Those little dots way out there are the Faralon Islands
I guess this is why they call it a Point
Or maybe that end is the 'point'
Now that's a really long stretch of beach ahead
What possible harm could going down to 200 feet do here?
There were actually quite a few people and dogs
Well shoot no wonder, there's a parking lot out here
Okay, maybe 150 feet...
Headed home now over the Napa area and far north end of the bay
The MauleBros and their new Bose
