Since Pt Lobos was closed, my son an I visited Mare Island next to Vallejo, CA.
Quite a bit has changed since the last time I was there. A lot of new tenants and it looked like a new boat was under construction in one of the granite dry docks! The new museum is well worth a visit but you can no longer drive to the cemetery as the road has been blocked off by the Nature Preserve, however the cemetery is a very short walk past the closure. Four of the Russian sailors killed while assisting during the Earth Quake received new head stones decorated with what look like St. Andrews Cross flags---perhaps these are Russian Navy Jacks? I'm not up on my flags
The causeway was blocked to Eastbound traffic so we left over the bridge and had a nice lunch at the Sardine Can at the marina, next to the Coast Guard station. All in all a rewarding day
