  • Could Francis Drake Have Found San Francisco Bay?
    Could Francis Drake Have Found San Francisco Bay? Sir Francis Drake By Duane Van Dieman FRANCIS DRAKE; A BRIEF BACKGROUND In the most remarkable known event in pre-California history, Captain Francis Drake and his crew landed in what is now Marin County in the summer of 1579, staying for 36 days while careening their ship, "The Golden Hinde", and peacefully mingling with the natives. Drake and his crew of about 75 men were Northern California’s first European visitors. Although Francis Drake was the most famous of all Elizabethan “seadogs”, little is known by most people living in the Bay Area about the man and the voyage that brought him to the shores of California. The nearly three-year adventure originated with five ships in Plymouth, England in December of 1577. By the summer of 1579, Drake and his crew aboard the only remaining ship of the voyage had amassed great quantities of booty by attacking Spanish treasure ports and merchant ships while sailing north along the west coast of South and Central America. During those surprise raids, Drake reportedly relieved a Spanish treasure ship, commonly known as “The Cacafuego”, of some 28 tons of silver and other valuables. After sailing as far north as the Vancouver area, looking for the mythical “Straights of Anian” (or “Northwest Passage”) as a possible way back to England, Drake and company sailed back down the coast to find a safe harbor in or near what is now Marin County. Over 40 tons of silver, along with gold, jewels and other treasures were aboard Drake’s ship when they landed for repairs and built an encampment for their five-week stay.

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.

  • A Guide to Point Reyes National Seashore Introduction
    A Guide to Point Reyes National Seashore Introduction Thank you for choosing Point Reyes Outdoors. We love nothing more than to share our love for Point Reyes National Seashore and we hope that this guide will enhance your experience. From its thunderous ocean breakers crashing against rocky headlands and expansive sand beaches to its open grasslands, brushy hillsides, and forested ridges, Point Reyes offers visitors over 1500 species of plants and animals to discover. Home to several cultures over thousands of years, the Seashore preserves a tapestry of stories and interactions of people. Point Reyes awaits your exploration. © National Park Maps ​ Click HERE for an Interactive Google Map ​ ​ Overview Point Reyes National Seashore is a 71,028-acre (287.44 km2) park preserve located on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County, California. As a national seashore, it is maintained by the US National Park Service as an important nature preserve. The peninsula includes wild coastal beaches and headlands, estuaries, and uplands. The ​ region is home to 900 species of plants, 490 bird species, and thousands of invertebrate species. Physical Landscape The Point Reyes peninsula is geologically separated from the rest of Marin County and almost all of the continental United States by a rift zone of the San Andreas Fault, about half of which is sunk below sea level and forms Tomales Bay. The fact that the peninsula is on a different tectonic plate than the east shore of Tomales Bay produces a difference in soils and therefore to some extent a noticeable difference in vegetation. San Andreas Fault All along the California coast, the jagged scars of the San Andreas Fault peek out amongst the landscape it played such a crucial role in forming.
