Point Bonita - 07/14/04 05:37 AM
We weren't able to join Derith's group on 7/3 when they visited Point Bonita; we were on our way back from Yosemite that afternoon. So . . . I went over on 7/5, the day after the regional. The weather wasn't great for photography (though very San Francisco), and climbing the tower wasn't an option, but it was a fun trip anyway. Like East Quoddy, on a much smaller scale, getting there is half the fun . . .
After crossing the Golden Gate Bridge and following the road toward Pt. Bonita, my first view of the light was from an old artillery battery up the road.
After driving back to the parking area for the light, I observed the approach from the top of the hill.
Down the hill (blacktop, easy hike) to the path over the wood bridge,
And on to the tunnel entrance.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel!
Then more wood bridges (this is looking back toward the tunnel after passing through).
