but check the Cloud Map application on the phone and
determine that the weather is likely to be reasonably clear in West Marin,
so,
off we go with Carol to same,
via Sir Francis Drake Boulevard,
to Point Reyes,
initially to the Visitor Center, then over Inverness Ridge,
and
down
through
the

past

to
the

for a stroll to the Lighthouse.
Fine
weather --
much
better
than
many
July-
August
days.
Reverse
course
through
A
and
B
Ranch, etc.,
to Mt. Vision for high times,
and
downhill again,
back to Inverness,
and
beyond
to

(two possible dining options, neither ready to serve until 5pm),
Elephant
Mountain
Canyon,
Nicasio
Reservoir
and
Valley,
to
the
Junction
and
Rancho,
at
last
for
a well-appointed dinner,
before heading off
in darkness. High 63 (64 in Point Reyes), begin editing Alma Maria Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel: 1892 - Sylt, Op. 232, No. 14.
