Ron, Pt. Reyes National Seashore begins about 25 km to the north and is well worth a visit when you have a chance on one of your visits. I'll be out there sometime in the next month to photograph the elk at Pierce Point now that I finally have a long fast autofocus lens. My last manual focus effort produced maybe one photo with acceptable focus due to the elk being close enough that small movements on their part threw the focus off.
Yes, the meal that Frank et al. ate in Hayward was not particularly good and I take responsibility for that.
