And again in some shadowy future the surf will have ground these Highway 1 snakes along the lip of the continent, rocks to sand and will have returned the coast to its ear- winding past the ridges, hills and cliffs thrust upward lier state. And so in my mind’s eye these coastal forms and out of the ocean over millions of years by two plates merge and blend in a shifting, kaleidoscopic pattern in touching. In geologic time, what’s visible to our eyes has which there is no finality, no ultimate and fixed reality— all happened rather quickly. Within the timeframe of the earth becoming fluid as the sea itself.” American imperium, little more than a century and a half Since the historic deluges of California’s wettest win- in coastal California, the landscape seems permanent, ter, a year or so after the state’s driest winter, Highway 1’s enduring in this exact form until a storm crumbles a part steep embankments have been belted together in places of the cliff bearing Route 1 back into the sea.

  • Sir Francis Drake, California Encounter with Miwok, 1579
    Library of Congress The World Encompassed by Sir Francis Drake (Voyage of 1577-1580) compiled by Drake’s nephew, Francis Drake, from the journal of the ship’s chaplain, Frances Fletcher, and others; published 1628 excerpts: Nova Albion (California), 1579 In December 1577 the Drake expedition departed England to sail west around the world, reaching the Pacific Ocean in eleven months after a calamitous sail through the Straits of Magellan. During the next year the Golden Hind sailed north along the continents’ west coast as far north as Vancouver, partly in search of the elusive “northwest passage.” Repelled by the cold weather they endured that far north, even in spring months, The World Encompassed by Sir Francis Drake, Drake and his crew turned south and anchored near San Francisco Bay in 1628, frontispiece and title page June 1579, remaining for five weeks to prepare for the long sail across the Pacific Ocean. There they met the native inhabitants, the Coastal Miwok. " In 38 deg. 30 min. we fell with a convenient and fit harbor,1 and June 17 came to anchor there, where we continued till the 23 day of July following. During all which time, notwith- standing it was in the height of summer, and so near the sun, yet were we continually visited with like nipping colds as we had felt before; insomuch that if violent exercises of our bodies, and busy employment about our necessary labors, had not sometimes compelled us to the contrary, we could very well have been contented to have kept about us still our winter clothes; yea (had our necessities suffered us) to have kept our beds; neither could we at any time, in whole fourteen days together, find the air so clear as to be able to take the height of sun or star [latitude].

  • Climate and Weather
    Point Reyes National Seashore Protection for your Cultural and Natural Heritage Climate and Weather While Point Reyes’ climate is generally described as a Mediterranean climate with cool rainy winters and warm dry summers, the peninsula’s weather can vary considerably from the headlands of the Na- tional Seashore to the inland areas of the Olema Valley. Visiting Point Reyes, you can experience extremes in weather within a few short miles. The key to the contrasts in weather is the Inverness Ridge. It sepa- rates the Headlands, dominated by the oceanic influences of the Pacific Ocean, from the Olema Valley, which is dominated by the terrestrial influences of the continental mainland. Leaning into the Wind You’ll often need to lean into the wind to keep your balance on the windiest place on the West Coast! Near the ocean on the western side of the Inverness Ridge, constant winds of moderate to strong velocity sweep the exposed headlands and outer beaches. During most of the year, particularly in summer, prevailing winds blow from the Northwest. In November and December, the winds shift to the south bringing some of the fiercest winds during southerly gales. Over the course of the year the average maximum wind velocity is 43 miles per hour. These strong winds are a faint breeze compared to the highest wind speed recorded at the point of 133 miles per hour. However, east of the Inverness Ridge, extremes are much less com- mon. Sheltered from the open ocean, winds are much lighter in veloc- ity, but it is an unusual day that does not bring some breezes to the Olema Valley.

  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

  • State of Early Learning and Care in Marin County
    State of Early Learning and Care in Marin County Marin County Child Care Commission Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Overview The Marin County Child Care Commission strives to lead and support countywide plans and advocacy efforts that ensure access to high quality early care and education services. For the last twenty-four years, the Commission has been serving as an advisory committee to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Board of Supervisors, and the Superintendent of Schools. Acting as the county’s state- mandated Local Child Care Planning Council, the Commission is charged with outlining a Master Plan for child care in Marin County every five years. During the completion of this 2020 Master Plan the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was deeply felt by this community. The Marin Child Care Commission is acutely aware of how this crisis, as well as other threats such as wildfires, have a direct impact on the wellbeing of children and families. These disasters have changed the landscape of Early Childcare and Education, and there is much work to be done to ensure the continued delivery of critical services in the months ahead. Though not directly addressed in this report, the Commission plans to take action through increased collaboration with local agencies to develop ongoing guidance for coordinated disaster responses. Early learning and care is a holistic approach to the development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs that builds a foundation of lifelong learning and wellbeing. In the San Francisco Bay Area and Marin County in particular, the high cost of living, scarcity of housing, and long commute times result in significant demand for free or low-cost, high-quality child care and early learning resources.
