After a long drive we set up our trailer at Olema RV Resort.
The next day we explored Point Reyes National Seashore, driving to the lighthouse and descending 350 steps to see grey whales swimming just offshore. It’s a beautiful area with great wildlife viewing.

Local elkWe decided to make Sunday, Oct 10 our San Francisco excursion day. In the morning we wandered around Pier 39, seeing the sights and watching the sea lions which make the pier their home.
In the afternoon we cruised to Alcatraz to tour the prison.
We were fantastically lucky to be at Alcatraz when the Blue Angels put on an air show for “fleet week”. We watched the show from the prison recreation yard.
We caught the 5 PM boat off the island, but it took us a long time to get out of San Francisco due to very nasty traffic. The sun was going down by the time we approached the Golden Gate Bridge and the winding route home, although stunning, was a challenge—especially in the dark.
The next afternoon was devoted to Tomales Bay at Millerton Point, Point Reyes Station (a very nice place to sit by the water and read a book).
