Point Reyes is one of those "journey is half the fun" places; it's a long, winding road to get to the entrance of the park, and a long, even more winding road to get to the Pacific. And it's _well_ worthwhile; even though we were too late to see the lighthouse, and it was too foggy to see the seals, the story of how Sir Frances Drake found the site 28 years before Williamsburg, and of the varied history of the land (including its use as a group of ranches dating back to the 1850s) is fascinating.
But - then there's the Earthquake Trail. Where, among other things, you can walk on the San Andreas Fault, and see how the 1906 earthquake split a fence.
But - then there's the deer. As we were walking along the trail, a deer came within view - and then got closer, and closer. Megan got some amazing pictures.
But - then there's the baby. The baby deer never got quite to close to us, but we got to see it bounding along around 10 feet away, and was simply adorable.
Strongly recommended.
