MARIN COUNTY VACATION: Beautiful California, Guest Post by Tom Scheaffer

Point Reyes Seashore, Marin County, CA.

In October, my brother Tom spent a week's vacation with friends in Marin County, California, enjoying the beautiful scenery and fall weather. Marin County is just north of San Francisco--across the Golden Gate Bridge. It is one of my favorite places. Our parents lived in Mill Valley in Marin County for 41 years so it is a place filled with lots of memories. I thank Tom for sharing his photos and report of his visit.

I have had a lot of fun and adventures in Marin County these last four days. The first day we went on a really nice hike on the trails that I used to hike on the Mill Valley side.

The next day we rented E bikes and went all over the west side of the mountain and it was very exciting because they can go up steep hills.

The next day I went to Point Reyes lighthouse and it was very beautiful.

And today we went sailing. We left from Sausalito and sailed all the way over to Aquatic Park in San Francisco and then came back near Alcatraz.

Tomorrow I go to San Francisco where I stay overnight and then I return to San Diego Sunday.
