Those people way up there look like little ants, huh?
The End of “Battery Construction 129″ in the Marin Headlines – The Feds are Closing Down Underground Hangout
Thursday, June 30th, 2011Battery 129 near Hawk in Hill in the Marin Headlands used to be a place where you could hang out and live and drink beer and do your cave art, but no more, since the Feds are shutting it down, per the Marin IJ
The place is big:
Oh well.
Good-bye Battery Construction 129.
Meet MUNI’s Most Popular Bus Route, the #76 Marin Headlands – Only on a Sunday
Thursday, April 21st, 2011Finally, the Yelpers agree – the 76 Marin Headlands rulez!
Check it, Per Helen L:
“I hate that this bus ONLY runs on Sundays and certain holidays.
I hate that this bus ONLY runs once an hour.
I hate that this bus stops running in the evening.
However, this is still the bestest MUNI route EVER!!!”
Here it is, in action near the Golden Gate Bridge:

See you on the 76!

Some of the Nude Beaches in Marin County Can be a Little Hard to Get to These Days
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010You’ll have to figure out for yourself just exactly where in Marin County this nude beach is, in this mostly-SFW photo from a while ago. The place was officially closed at the time due to an unsafe stairway and it’s more-than-likely officially closed at this time.
But actually, your nudist types like out-of-the-way places anyway, the kind that require long descents from the nearest road.
Now, your San Francisco Bay Guardian occupies the field of nude beach field scouting – their link appears to be down right now but feel free to give a try later on.
The nude types were to the east of the stairway and the never-nudes were to the west - it all worked out. All the while, a couple of fun fearless females felt free to parade up and down the whole beach by the low tide line, on the catwalk, they did their little turn on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah, they did a little turn on the catwalk for about half-hour:

By the way, is there a special law that disallows photography on Public Nude Beaches? Not that I’m aware of.
Cyclists Have No Worry About Cars on Marin County’s Conzelman Road
Friday, October 16th, 2009Pretty much. There are more bikes than cars on this stretch of one-way road to the Point Bonita Light House and beyond in the Marin Headlands.
The catch is that you have to ride your bike all the way up the two-way part from where the road starts near the North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.

But otherwise, it’s a nice ride…
The Best Place to See San Francisco is from Battery Spencer in Marin County
Monday, April 20th, 2009This is the view from San Francisco looking over at the chopped-off hill known as Battery Spencer. What used to be the location of three 12″ Watervliet Arsenalguns from the Edicott Era is now just a short hike uphill from the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
See if the Yelpers like it here. Find your way to get there here.

The Longest Stoplight in the World – A Five Minute Wait in Marin County
Thursday, October 9th, 2008The traffic light controlling the western entrance of the Bunker Road Tunnel in the Marin Headlands makes you wait five whole minutes. Why? Because it only has one lane for cars, so traffic goes west for a few minutes and then east and then back again, all day long.
There’s another way back to the Golden Gate Bridge but it’s a whole lot hillier.
After a long countdown, the green light appears. Click to expand:
And here’s your reward, after all the wait. Some people love it, while others get irritated: “Stop braking. Stop it, stop it.”
All in all, a fine tunnel. Look for it between Cavallo Point and Rodeo Cove the next time you’re in the Sausalito area.
