KALW‘s Steven Short finds Bolinas, CA a “friendly town” – check out his new CrossCurrents bit here, why not?
Now, here’s my version of the story. Enjoy:
Inbetwixt the friendly elephant seals of the Point Reyes National Seashore…

(This was from at least double the official keep-away distance, we’re talking hundreds of yards, so I don’t want to hear it. Made using the remarkable 1999-2010 Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS USM and EF 2x II Extender, handheld.)
…and the friendly regular seals of Bolinas Lagoon…
…you’ll find the unfriendly town of Bolinas, CA:
The reason why the locals, some of whom, for some reason, feel quite empowered to bully auslanders, always tear down the road signs on the Pacific Coast Highway is because their USPS letter carrier already knows how to get there.
Fin.

Raconteur Andrzej Sochacki really gets around, but it just so happens he’s staying in our little burg tonight. Judging by the way he’s been hauling up the coast from Acapulco, Mexico on El 15D and more recently on The One and The 101 in his 15-year-old Land Cruiser, he’ll be in Oregon soon.
(Do you think this 1.5 decade-old Toyota is ready for the ash heap? It has more life in it than a brand new Chevrolet Trailblazer, believe it or not.)
He’s going the distance. What drives him so? Why does he journey around the world, around the world?
