Drakes Beach... Josh's Beach nonexistent
Friday, December 9, 2011
Low, Peter, Chunli, Annie, and I ventured out toward Point Reyes with no particular venue in mind for a BBQ. We just had the drive to have a BBQ that weekend. What a drive it was... around 2 hours to get to Drakes beach after picking everyone up and heading toward the Point Reyes area. It was a decent drive taking us through very nice towns that a person might like to visit if they were so inclined like Fairfax.
After driving quite a ways we were lost a bit and decided to just follow a route out toward Drakes beach and hope that it had some BBQ pits. Sure enough Drakes Beach did.
The Beach was empty when we arrived around 12 in the afternoon. It seemed very peaceful because of the secluded location located far from the main beaches along that stretch of road.
What did we do? What else.. We flew kites, walked around, looked at the various dead birds in the sand, talked, collected shells, and all the wonderful things you could do at the beach. As far as beaches go I would highly recommend this beach because the amount of people even during the mid afternoon on a Sunday was way lower than that of more famous areas like Bakers Beach.
The BBQ took forever to light like always. If we can't get a fire going with a blow torch lighter and charcoal I fear for our souls if we ever get stuck in a Man vs. Wild kind of situation. I'm not a bear grills and I don't think I can light anything with one match or a magnesium flint (though I really want one). BBQ consisted of hot dogs, hot links, and rice (yes rice).
