Coast to Coast



We've been in California the whole month of May, but just now made it to the actual coast. And what a magnificent place it is. Point Reyes National Seashore's 16,000+ acres are across the bay just north of San Francisco. It is one of the newer National Parks, designated as such in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy. The beaches have high cliffs, typical of the Pacific Coast. The Point Reyes lighthouse is a local landmark and was operational until 1975. Having walked on the sandy beaches here in California, we can now say we've been coast to coast, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
