Today we had a nice adventure as we drove down Hwy 1 from Bodega Bay. We hoped to stay near the Point Reyes Lighthouse over night and continue up Hwy 1 tomorrow. However, since we made not plans, the vagabonds we are, there were no sites to even camp near the lighthouse. I decided I didn’t want to go up inside it bad enough to drive 35 miles each way to do so. We continued down Hwy 1. What fantastic views, even if it is a bit of “white knuckle” drive. Tomales Bay, Bolinas Lagoon, then Stinson Beach… All lovely, but on we went. Finally we were almost to where Hwy 1 joins Hwy 101! We joined there just a few miles before the Golden Gate Bridge. We thought about trying to stay at Marin Headlands then we read no pets were allowed and one needed a reservation far in advance, nix that idea too! However, we did have some fantastic views of the city. Unfortunately there was no place to park until we found this one area and we were able to get this nice photo shown below. On we went through San Francisco, I was surprised how little traffic there was. We opted to head to Half Moon Bay tonight in hopes that the State Campground might have some availability. No such luck but we were fortunate to find a spot available at Half Moon Bay RV and Campground. It is not much and expensive, but a place stop, eat our dinner and head south tomorrow.
