San Francisco Bay Early on a Saturday Morning

Posted By John Chabalko on October 4th, 2005

As we came out of the long tunnel in the Marin Headlands the sky was suddenly clearing up. Clear blue sky and a stiff cool breeze.
Jason and I woke up a little early and cruised out to the Marin Headlands for a little photography. Did you know there’s a missile base out there? I did – well – i’d heard about it. Did you know that they sometimes work on the missiles on saturday mornings? How about when it’s cold and foggy? I didn’t know that. We’d been walking around these two old building taking some pictures in the fog when i peered through the chain-link fence. Down the hill was a quite modern looking rack about 60 feet long with a giant (short-bus) sized missile sitting on it that had just come from the elevator that’s in the ground below. Anyway – there’s a picture of it on that link if you’re interested in checking it out.

And while talking about death and destruction, here’s a picture of some pretty sailboats.
