I was driving to Point Reyes Station with my son tonight when we saw a car upside down in the bushes on SFD by Love Field. Three people had stopped and were pulling the driver out of the car while others called 911. I stopped to help them. We got driver out. He was in shock but seemed unharmed. Minutes later the whole car went up in flames. The fire department arrived on the scene and put the fire out.

A very extensive and impressive obituary for local resident and editor of the Point Reyes Light, David Mitchell, in The New York Times.
“It is one of those romantic Ben Hecht, Ring Lardner or Horatio Alger stories,” the columnist James Reston wrote in The New York Times in 1979. “Young struggling couple out of Stanford University, David and Catherine Mitchell, buy little rag of a paper, defy the powerful interests in the community, and win the big prize.”

The burn is happening today. "Point Reyes National Seashore fire managers, in collaboration with the Marin County Fire Department, are monitoring conditions for an opportunity to implement a 12-acre prescribed burn west of the cypress tunnel and north of the lighthouse. This burn may begin on Friday October 20, and is expected to last one to two days.
Smoke from these activities may be visible from areas in the Seashore and in west Marin County, including Dillon Beach, Tomales, Marshall, Inverness, and Point Reyes Station. Fire managers are working closely with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to carefully monitor air quality before and during the prescribed fire and to minimize the impacts of smoke.

"On Saturday morning, a surfer happened upon an alien-looking sea creature washed up on Kehoe Beach on the Point Reyes National Seashore. It had a nearly 6-foot-long oblong body with a fin popping out on each side, it had no tail, and one of its enormous googly eyes faced upward, seemingly saying hello.
Turns out the specimen is not a Mola mola but its close relative known as a Mola tecta, or hoodwinker sunfish. It’s an easy mistake to make. Mola tecta are extremely rare in California — so rare that there have been only a handful of living sightings here and about the same number of strandings."

The waves are absolutely massive today in Point Reyes and getting bigger, these photos don’t do it justice. I told these people with their dog and little child to please get away from the water. It is so dangerous. Be safe everyone!

“The California Department of Transportation has defeated another legal challenge against a bridge project near Point Reyes Station.
The bridge was built in 1929 and sits near the San Andreas Fault. About 15 years ago, Caltrans determined the bridge does not meet safety and seismic design standards. It also determined that retrofitting was not a viable option because of the structure’s advanced age, according to court filings.
Caltrans proposed a bridge replacement project and began its first community meetings in 2015. In 2018, a group called Friends of the Green Bridge filed a lawsuit alleging that the project violated the California Environmental Quality Act.”

From the West Marin Residents for Housing: "CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF HOUSING IN WEST MARIN? In the past five years, the number of Short Term Rentals (STRs) in unincorporated Marin has almost doubled, from 480 in 2018 to the current 873. The negative impacts of STRs on available housing have been well documented in the County’s plan to address the housing crisis: the Marin Housing Element. Yet, the County’s newly proposed would allow the licensing of an additional 108 short term rentals (STRs), increasing the number in coastal West Marin from 568 to 676 — almost 20% of our precious housing stock!"
There is an urgent need for community members to express their views on the draft STR ordinance. This has to happen by this Thursday morning, 10/19 in order for comments to be included in the board packet.
West Marin Residents for Housing have created a letter template that can be found on our website:
