So I believe that this may be the first time that we have triple posted for a single location but, as it happens, Angel Island is a favorite of ours so you can all deal. It is a small island in the San Francisco Bay, just north of Alcatraz, and the island is entirely a park with a fair bit of camping available – maybe one of the few places in the country where you can legally camp in a city.
We also got a chance to use our US camping equipment for the first time in a while, so the bright orange Eureka made a reappearance! Instead of some crazy kayaking to the island or running a 12K, we took the ferry out with some friends and just did an overnight camp. It was a lot of relaxing and hanging out outside and by the beach. So quite a nice relaxing trip and I highly recommend Angel Island for anyone who lives in the SF area.
