Point Bonita, at last!

As promised, here are some pictures from our outing to Point Bonita Lighthouse (near Sausalito) a couple of weekends ago. It was one of the most beautiful places I've been in a long time and I can't wait to go back.
This is the bridge you cross to get to the lighthouse. They only allow 2 people at a time on the bridge, and you can tell why when you're there. It looks pretty worn and rusted. The volunteer there said that they're planning to close the bridge for renovation this summer.

We hiked up to a spot overlooking the lighthouse and had a picnic. You can't tell from the picture, but about 4 feet in front of Tom was a +/- 200 foot drop off. It was like being at the edge of the world.

I wish I had been able to capture the scope of the lovely panoramic view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was really something.

  1. Great day! Let's do it again soon. Also, my forehead looks enormous in that bridge picture.
