Point Reyes National Seashore, California

As I drove along Highway 1 North from San Fran I increasing realized how good of a decision it was to not go after the tourist spots for a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Though the bridge is a great Gods amazing creation is quite a bit better. This portion of the drive was incredibly beautiful… Winding roads through hills and forests, the coast a stone throws from the highway and the sun setting over the ocean. Not even my gas tank approaching empty with no sign of a gas station could ruin the magnificent beauty. I finally approached Point Reyes Station where I saw a sign for a lighthouse. I hoped there would be a gas station here for a couple reason, 1. I wanted to visit the lighthouse and 2. I needed gasoline as I would be empty, very very soon. Now that I was filled up I could continue on to the lighthouse. Turns out the lighthouse is a ways out, but oh so worth the drive. As you go through the California country side, there are historical Ranches that pepper the sides of the roads. These ranches are still operational and have been since early to mid 1800′s. So, now we have, winding roads leading through a hilly country side with grazing cows and old country ranches with the sun setting over a sparkling ocean. You should definitely visit here if you are ever in California!
