West Marin County



Wow, Marin County. What a wonderful place. Mary lived here in the late 80s and left because it had gotten too crowded and expensive. It’s even more so now, but it’s still beautiful. We’ve spent the past 9 nights in Western Marin in Olema, near Pt. Reyes. The hills are green and rolling, with little stands of lovely trees. There are cows and horses on the hills and deer and other wildlife everywhere. Oh, to find a real deal on some property here……this area is so special. Just 10 miles from Hwy 101, but quiet and rural.

We have had a great time visiting lots of Mary’s old friends and family. Today we went to the Marine Mammal Center for a sea lion release, that brought back fond memories of Mary’s 4 years there. We even managed a few days of sun between the rain squalls. We had some superb hiking on Mt. Tamalpais and also in Pt. Reyes National Sea Shore. If the weather was better, we would probably stay a month!
