Man, there are just so many things to see here in the bay area!

We have this enormous assortment of things to see here, from parks, to events, to you-name-it.

This particular thing was a trip to Point Reyes National Seashore a couple years ago.

I got up early one morning, about 5-6 am and hit the road to the park. I'm not even including the trip through the Redwoods here, just the park itself, (which doesn't have Redwoods.)

It does have some awesome views, including a lighthouse that you have to walk down over 300 steps to get to. It's the trip back up that will wipe you out! It's equal to a 30 story building!

It also has Drake's Beach; the beach Sir Francis Drake pulled his boats up onto for repairs, because the white cliffs reminded him so much of home. He sent his men overland to explore and that's how they found San Francisco bay. They had sailed right past the entrance, which as I understand it, can't be seen more than a quarter mile offshore.

There are sea lions here, whales in season, mule deer, and historic ranches that have been there since the mid-1800's and still work. You may have to stop for cattle as they are not fenced off from the road.

North beach is what, 10 miles long and straight? You'll see it in the video.

Well, enough of me talking.

Enjoy the trip.
