Today I went with my friend Lauri to Angel Island which is 10 minutes away from Tiberon by ferry. While on the ferry we had a nice view of the bay and the Golden Gate.
We arrived on the island and began the 4 mile walk around the island. We walked clock wise around the island. We could see a nice view of east bay.
We stopped at this table to relax and eat a lunch that she had packed. A turkey sandwich, carrots and chocolate cookies.
The new immigration facilities opened on Angel Island in 1910 to replace the old cramped quarters on a San Francisco pier. Most of the immigrants were from China. Here is the Immigration Station.
Continuing around the island we could see Fort McDowell located on Quarry Point.
We then stopped at Quarry Beach to view the bay.
I walked out on this.
To see this. While I was standing there it actually felt like I was standing on the water.
Continuing on around the island, we say a view of Point Blunt. The US Coast Guard is located there.
Here is the Golden Gate Bridge viewed from Angel Island.
With concern mounting over threats to the Bay Area from Confederate sympathizers and naval forces, the federal government established Camp Reynolds.
Here is a view of Camp Reynolds.
Here is a view of the bay. Tiberon is on the right. Sausalito is on the left. Mt. Tam is in the distance.
