Treasure Island is a manmade extention of Yerba Buena Island in the SF Bay. It is the island that ones passes through when traveling the span of the Bay Bridge.

Here's a site that provides some interesting information on SF's Treasure Island:

The view of the Sierra's from 395 is always one of my favorite views on earth.

How veddy, veddy swanky cool! What an awesome B-day gift!

Do they do this while wearing their cheerleading uniforms? I can think of a few posters that might alter their October schedules to squeeze in a road trip.

Hahaha!

You know, I don't know if they do this in their actual uniforms... From what I remember seeing on TV, they were walking around the tub pretending to make it while pushing oars....

Probably not as exciting as some posters would imagine it to be...

I've never been to Yosemite National park... never.
I wanna go.. but everytime I get the urge, it's always the wrong season.

Also, I need to revisit Muir Woods and Alcatraz. It's been ages since I've been there.

[Not Afraid]

There no wrong season for Yosemite! Well, maybe the middle of summer when everyone else is there, but, otherwise, it's pretty all year round.

My brother has lived about 10 minutes outside the park gates for 25+ years, so I end up there a lot. We were even married at the Awahnee.

Ewww!!! Carp girls!! (Carpinteria was my high school's bitter rival.) But where else can you get avocado ice cream?




I've always wanted to see the Winchester House. And Hearst Castle.
