Sausalito

So, the initial plan was to do an R/T on the Bridge proper, however before the walk, I struck a conversation with a bicyclist who told me he took a ferry to Sausalito and then biked back from there and across the Bridge.
That appealed to me, be it that I have yet to get on the water. (Preliminary plans also included a Bay Cruise with a stop at The Rock, but unfortunately, they didn't materialize). So I hiked to Sausalito instead (2.1 miles)
Again we were here in 2006 as part of the same tour/cruise.

Sausalito is a picturesque, affluent bayside city in Marin County, California, across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco. It's known for its Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves, built by artist squatters after WWII, stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge, Mediterranean-style architecture, vibrant art scene, and famous houseboat communities, offering a charming, laid-back atmosphere with art galleries, boutiques, waterfront dining,

I hung around the waterfront, the Historic Downtown District and then jumped on the ferry.
