Point Reyes National Seashore

With the top down, we headed west in the back of a silver sports car. The wind whistled as it whipped through our hair and through the intense afternoon sun. Soon the temperature dropped from hot to pleasant as we approached Inverness and the Point Reyes National Seashore. With little around us other then small scale cattle farms and exposed moorland we continued towards the imposing and endless cliff tops that stretched deep into the horizon.

Eventually, we arrived at The Point Reyes Lighthouse (built 1870) which sits, battered and exposed overlooking the Gulf of the Farallones. Unfortunately, it was 'Labor Day' so the crowds had also descended. However, even they could not dampen our enthusiasm for the view, which stretched out in every direction. To sea, Grey Whales could be seen spouting seawater into the sky. Inland, and after very many steps down to the shore-line, the large sharp coastal rocks could be seen standing solidly against the ocean.
