| A view of San Francisco and Alcatraz Island under a fast moving fog bank. An oil tanker is steaming out of San Francisco Bay. The tanker discharged Alaskan crude oil at the Chevron Richmond Oil Refinery, in all probability. It is likely that the tanker is heading back to Alaska for another load of crude oil. Construction of the Richmond oil refinery was completed in 1902; it was the first oil refinery built in California. The view is looking south. Click the image to see the full-size photo. |

| The site of Fort McDowell (East Garrison), as seen from the North Ridge Trail. In 1900 the Army designated the entire island as Fort McDowell. The island was under military administration for more than 100 years and was off-limits to civilians during that time period. The view is looking east.

| We took a Blue & Gold Ferry back to San Francisco. It was late afternoon, and there were many people with and without bicycles waiting to board the ferry. After all the people boarded, we left Angel Island and sailed to Sausalito to take on board more people and their bicycles for the ferry ride back to San Francisco. This is a view of the southeast part of Sausalito. Yes, that is the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Click the image to see the full-size photograph. |

| I was told that the passenger capacity of the ferry is 600 people. The ferry has three decks on which passengers can sit or stand. Each deck was jammed with people. This picture was taken from the lowest deck. Click the image to see the full-size photograph. |
