PT. REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE

We are starting to see a little sunshine and none to soon for us! :)

We took off bright and early for Pt. Reyes. Well, ok, that's a bit of a stretch. We left around ten. Out first stop was at The Cheese Factory. Mom never passes up a chance to improve the larder! She says that Rouge et Noir brie is the best domestic brie you can buy and so she did! It's also, a nice place for a picnic. There is a lovely pond and picnic tables. Very clever of them! :)

From the Factory we headed on over to the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. In order to get there you must pass through Inverness, a quaint village that sits right on Tomales Bay. Mom says it hasn't changed much in 20 years except for the real estate prices. Looks like Inverness has now become quite chic.

We continued on to the park and took the road leading to the lighthouse. We never actually made it to the lighthouse because the fog got so thick we couldn't see two feet in front of us and the road is pretty windy and not all that wide. Once we turned aroound we got out of the fog and headed for Drakes Beach. There's a little cafe there and it's a very nice beach except for the fact they wouldn't allow dogs on it. I swear! Oh, no I don't mom doesn't allow it! ;)

On the road to Drakes Beach we spotted a herd of Thule Elk. Naturally, I got to stay in the car for the stop to view them. They aren't as elegant as the Roosevelt Elk but they look just good for chasing! ;)

After Drakes Beach we went to North Beach. The waves were really big from all the stormy weather and I did get a good run on this beach! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful drive.

Until next time .....
