Angel Island Ablaze

Last night, over 300 firefighters in Marin fought to save Angel Island from a fire that looks like it may have been started by campers. The firefighters managed to keep the fire from the historic buildings, but evidently it charred over half of the island. Read SF Chronicle article here.


This island is just a short ferry ride from Tiburon (right next to our old home in Marin City / Sausalito) and is visible from San Francisco. If you'll recall, it's a place we're all particularly fond of because it's where Dane did his first big solo ride -- 5 miles around the perimeter! -- and we had a terrific family biking day there. (Read about it at these old blog postings called Angel Island Pix and About A Bike.)
