“One of the world’s largest land conservation groups has stepped into the battle between environmentalists and local ranchers over the future of private cattle and dairy ranching in Point Reyes National Seashore, The Press Democrat has learned.
“We just found out a few weeks ago that The Nature Conservancy is working with the park to remove all the ranches and dairies out of Point Reyes, to buy out their leases,” Straus said. (Albert Straus, CEO of Straus Family Creamery)

Late on Friday the California Coastal Commission approved a land/water user permit for the Duck Boat Collective to start running their popular amphibious duck tour boats on Tomales Bay and around West Marin. They will stop at a number of local beaches including Shell Beach, Chicken Ranch Beach and Marshall Beach. They'll also take visitors on a narrated land tour through the towns of Point Reyes Station, Olema and Inverness. According to Dennis Rodini, this new attraction will boost local business revenue in West Marin. It will also cement our reputation as a 'tourist destination' which will increase short term rental revenue and outside investment. If you have thoughts about this project, there will be hearing today, April 1, behind the portapotties in Point Reyes Station.

If you received the WMF Weekend Email Newsletter today, there was a mistake. The benefit for the Bolinas Community Center is in Bolinas (at the Bolinas Community Center, duh), NOT Fairfax tonight. Featuring Vinyl and The West Marin Grateful Dead Society. Going to be a great show!
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/v...On Saturday there is a benefit for a longtime local, Heather Thornton, who is battling cancer. This is at the Papermill Creek in Forest Knolls at 8:30pm featuring El Radio Fantastique and other bands. Her GoFundMe page is here:

Someone in Bolinas said they also experienced this jet flying over very low and super loud yesterday around 1:30pm. Did anyone see it? Wonder what was up, not the normal T38 training flight. Didn't show up on flight tracking apps.

In 1983, Lucasfilm (later Pixar) made the first high-resolution computer-generated image that was supposed to be near-photorealistic and "a single-frame movie".
"The Road to Point Reyes" took a month to render.

"The Point Reyes, whose name was prominently displayed on the ship for many years, had a fairly modest history, according to various accounts. Roadside America, a travel site featuring oddball attractions, says the ship was built in 1944 and used to transport military troops between their ships and San Francisco near the end of World War II.
It later became a fishing boat owned by Merrell Rocca used to catch salmon before being bought for rehabilitation, likely sometime in the late 1990s, and moved to Tomales Bay, where it eventually washed up on a sandbar in Inverness, which became its final resting place.
Who owns the boat and why it never got fixed up has been lost to sands of time — like the vessel itself. But the beached old boat soon became a tourist attraction, drawing photographers who captured it in various stages of its decay.
A 2016 fire, rumored to have been started by someone trying to photograph the boat with sparks in the background, caused significant damage."
