Old and In The Way?

I don't think so. The wreck of the Point Reyes sits on private property behind the small market in the small town of  Inverness, CA on the very scenic Tomales Bay. My first thought was how nice of the store owners to allow access to the boat. It's now clear to me that the wreck is a goldmine for the store owner and probably the town in general. There is a steady stream of photographers and lookyloos (is that a word?) that are drawn to the boat and then stop in the store for snacks and drinks. The two times we visited, I saw point-and-shooters, serious photographers with tripods hoping for just the right light, picnickers... all kinds of people coming and going.

And did I mention how scenic Tomales Bay is? I've even changed my header (not to worry, I will be returning with a desert theme soon!). The San Andreas fault sits directly under the bay, with mainland CA on the east slowly sliding on it's plate in one direction, and much of Point Reyes on the west sliding the other direction. We spent two nights at the Motel Inverness. There is a wonderful wood-plank walkway leading out on the marsh for bird-watching (and photography!) directly behind the motel.
