Point Reyes

Spent the last few days at Pt. Reyes National Seashore after driving CA 1 down the coast. If we has to continue south on Rt.1 towing the trailer, we’d spend the rest of the trip in Pt. Reyes. I doubt we could have pulled the 20% grades with the trailer. The switchbacks are so tight we almost had to stop while making the turn. Fortunately there was another way out.

Pt. Reyes was pretty neat. Nice beaches and lots of diverse habitats. Elephant seals, harbor seals, Tule elk, and some good landscapes.

Yesterday we found a campground near a ferry to San Francisco, so we spent the day walking around there. We didn’t see either Dirty Harry or Karl Malden. Must have been off duty. We’ll stop there again on the way back and spend more time. We’re at Half Moon Bay tonight and will be in Monterey thru next Monday. Tidepools tomorrow. I like the starfish – they don’t move too fast.
