Martinez: The Path Less Taken

The path less taken: Carquines Strait

Where John Muir retired.  He was the original hipster.

He typed at this computer as an old man.

His friends made him some paintings of the places he liked.

Here he is.

A cat spotted on his property.

The De Anza expedition.  Not unlike my 18-mile bike ride around the Carquinez Strait.

Trash

Memorial to the dead

A highway divide.

Community pool.  Its hot enough up here to swim in the summer.

Sugar factory.  Can't go in.

Old and new bridge to Vallejo 

Old truck

Building

The Strait

Great little bike path closed to cars along the strait.
