Joe's Place

Tomales Point 

The very northernmost tip of Point Reyes.
On this map north is to he right and that long trail that runs left to right is the Tomales Point Trail.
The San Andreas Fault runs right up Tomales Bay, so you are standing on a different continent than North America.

This where you'll start your hike.
We didn't spend time here until after our hike so that's where I'll post the pictures.

There's plenty of wildlife to see.
Leave them alone so you don't get injured.

White Thistles
Have you ever seen White Thistles?
I think it's the salt or the soil because when you plant these in regular ground they turn green just like regular thistles.

Tomales Point, where the ocean meets the bay.
The Pacific Ocean is to the left and Tomales Bay is to the right.
There's no place else to go.
