40 miles of quality goofing around. I explored a less well-known corner of the Point Reyes National Seashore today.

There are a handful of steep dirt roads that drop down from the spine of the Point Reyes Peninsula to the shores of Tomales Bay, a long narrow bay formed by the San Andreas Fault, responsible for the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake. These little roads are gated to keep cars out but no signage to indicate that they are off limits to cyclists and hikers. I spent the day exploring these roads and didn't see a single person on any of them.





All of the roads end at the edge of the bay; one at a marine laboratory, a couple at the sites of old homesteads, and a couple at some pretty little beaches.










I got to spend some quality time with the resident bovines since my route included about a half mile of cross country cow paths.





The Douglas Irises are out in large numbers.
