Hike with Bill, Laura and Dave up Hill 88, with breakfast, adding Phil, at Murray Circle Restaurant, on the patio looking out over the green at Cavallo Point.
As we drove down towards Mill Valley, the fog was heavy and we thought the weather was going to suck, but we soldiered on towards Rodeo Beach anyway. Coming out of the one-lane tunnel under 101 going west, the weather cleared to gorgeous, with fog accenting the sky.
Up Hill 88
The hills above Fort Cronkhite are scattered with the remains of old gun emplacements, bunkers, and even nuclear missile launchers. I need to put together some of the photos I have of the refurbished Nike missile launcher site, the summit of our hike, Hill 88, was once the location of the targeting radar for that silo and site.
