Nov 28, 2009 - Marin Headlands to "The Gate"

In late afternoon, cycling along the waterfront in Sausalito; the road opening out onto the view of the bay: San Francisco´s skyline, Alcatraz out in the middle of the bay, the Oakland Bay Bridge behind....and over it all - a perfect rainbow.  People stopping, getting out of their cars to get a photo....

Turning right out of Sausalito, a steep climb up Richardson Ave, the road bending around to the west.... and there it is:  "The Gate": The Golden Gate Bridge. Crossing it has been a big goal for me since starting out at Port Hardy, B.C.  We arrive at Marin Headlands in the Golden Gate National Rec Area just as the sun is setting....

Stepping through the screen of cypress trees that surround our campsite,   view of "The Gate" with the San Francisco skyline behind.
