Belated Annual New Years Excursion

Buddahaid · 01-03-16, 03:32 PM

We've both been sick so our usual New Years Marin Headlands hike was put off until today. Small hike out to Point Bonita had to suffice and maybe next year we'll go there when the tunnel to the lighthouse is opened.

I think this is the property that's being offered for lease now.

The decommissioned Nike missile base that's been under restoration for several years.

The old Coast Guard lifeboat station that was in service from 1899 to 1947.

The causeway over the eroding cliffs leading to the tunnel now used to get to the lighthouse.

Looking back from there to the GG bridge.

Great pictures!

...

Of all the things I miss most about the SF Bay area, the views are on the top of my list. The great natural diversity of vistas just cant be found down here in SoCal...

Those shots are so encompassing I almost feel as if I were there

Very cool pics, moody and beautiful at the same time!

Coastal erosion is a harsh mistress, I wonder how long that house that's offered for lease will remain. What are the winter storms like around San Fran? They're the ones that do the most damage on the UK east coast, the worst hit probably being Dunwich, once this regions capital:

The yellow line marks the approximate current coastline, everything below it is now in the North Sea.

Looks like a great place for a hike. Reminds me of a more wet & gray version hiking about on Crete.
