Day two drive was easier than expected; arrived in Oakland at about 2pm. Thanks to google maps on iPad, we killed some time at a park along the bay that ended up being a bird-nerd's paradise, including a few random (and eager) shore birds migrating south from the arctic. We are on the opposite path - pushing north to mist, tall trees, and cold water.
Afternoon hit and we finally met our destination - old friends from what seems like an epoch ago (actually a decade) when we inhabited this part of the coast. Great to catch up with Rob and Kristin and meet their amazing 6-month old twin daughters Abby and Emma. Thanks again guys - and Rob, see you in Memphis!
Tomorrow - Salt Point State Park, where $80 will buy you a whole mess of BBQ oysters, some top shelf wine, or two nights of sleeping on the dirt (but you can't put a price on the sound of crashing waves from your tent!).
