Day Fifty-four - Aug 1, 2000
Half Moon Bay, CA to Bodega Bay, CA
Daily Didactic
The morning began in the Half Moon Bay beach campground, a campground surprisingly close to San Francisco and only a little north of Cupertino. We headed for the latter first, with an eye on finding the origin of all things good and right in peronal computing, Apple Computer. Cupertino is at the heart of "Silicon Valley" and is amusingly computer centric, a town where bus stops sport advertisements for broad band internet access. We eventually zeroed in on the Apple compound, a number of nondescript large buildings on the cleverly named "Infinite Loop". We poked around the Company Store, assessing first hand the new iMac colors and the new non-hockey puck mouse. All, of course, recieve a hearty thumbs up from our team of travelers. Pilgrimage completed, we headed due north to San Francisco. Needing to be a fair bit north by nightfall in order to camp, we had to pick a single tourist destination for the day. We decided on the Haight Ashbury area, the center of all things hippy in the late sixties, and still a fun street to walk up and down. After completing the tourist loop, we waited out rush hour in the Magnolia Cafe brewpub and then headed across the Golden Gate Bridge, through Mill Valley and followed the awesomely windy Highway One north to Bodega Bay for the evening.
