Pictures from our favoritest nearby getaway, West Marin’s Tomales Bay and Point Reyes

It was an anniversary weekend so my apologies about the sap.

Molly made Beignets we ate on the porch looking for seals

Whales were spotted in these waters the next day

Moxie from the hot tub

Oysters from Drakes Farm. Just as superb as Hog Island

The last turn before the end of the road at Pierce Point, northern tip of Pt Reyes

Moxie found a fallen elk horn. Tule Elk were introduced ito Pierce Point in 1978

C’mon everyone get happy …

Herd of Tule Elk

A wonderful beach on the west shore of Tomales Bay. Larry & Piper got married there.

I noticed Mt. Vision on the map for the first time. An unused single lane road takes you up to 1500 feet.

Drakes Estero seen from atop Mt. Vision. In the 1570’s Sir Francis Drake is believed to have set anchor in the further bay you can see. Pottery dating to the same era has been found on the beaches. (oh, the above oysters grew in the inner bay you see)

Vision Road in Inverness at the easter foot of Mt. Vision. If you haven’t noticed we were quite smitten by the name Mt. Vision

Another Inverness road, Dreamfarm. Inverness is Gaelic for sweetest chillest town NoCal ever created

Squishing the toes in the mud at low tide at Millerton Point, Tomales Bay State Park. Fog topped Mt. Vision with Inverness below is behind them.
