A seashore befitting a king Part I

Point Reyes National Seashore, located in Marin County, is one awesome place!



At the Bear Valley Visitor Center, there was an awesome display showcasing animals which can be found at Point Reyes, such as this striped skunk.



I then took a short hike along the Kule Loklo trail, which led to a replica Coast Miwok village.



It was quite sunny and warm so along the way I took a little breather in a tree.  Ahh.



The weather at Point Reyes can vary drastically from one moment to the next.  Point Reyes is not only the windiest place on the Pacific Coast but it's also the second foggiest place in North America! My next stop was at the Point Reyes Lighthouse, where it was extremely windy and at times very foggy. 



The Point Reyes Lighthouse was built in 1870.



It was retired from service in 1975 when an automated light was installed by the U.S. Coast Guard. 



I had a grand time wandering around the lighthouse and surrounding buildings.



Come back for Part II!
