It feels like the creator of this surf guide to "Kehoe Beach" may have had one or two too many cold ones from the sponsor. If you watch the video, you'll notice a strange new bridge on the trail out there. Maybe best to just stick with Bolinas as an accessible and user friendly surf spot in West Marin in the future. Or just don't talk about surf spots at all. VIDEO:

This was posted on a local community forum in Point Reyes this week. "Has anyone lost their raccoon and pigeon? The pigeon is quite large, plump and very well preened. And is wearing a blue leg band. Seems quite tame.
The raccoon is silver and black, very tame and appears to be travelling with the pigeon. And no...I haven't been smoking anything funny."

I heard rumors there was a high speed chase in West Marin possibly Point Reyes today? Around 11:40pm? There was a helicopter flying around low and all sorts of sirens? Suspect possibly hit a tree? Clearly I did not get the full story. Does anyone else know what happened?

"Voters in Bolinas-Stinson Union School District and Inverness passed two ballot measures for special taxes in an all-mail election Tuesday.
The vote for Measure B, a renewal of the special parcel tax to support programs in the Bolinas-Stinson Union School District, was 361 yes and 136 no. A two-thirds majority was required for passage.
The vote for Measure C, a special parcel tax to pay for road work in Inverness, was 18 yes and 1 no. Measure C also needed two-thirds majority to pass.
Measure B aimed to renew and increase the school district parcel tax of $300 per year by $18 for five years. The current parcel tax expires on June 30.
The tax was billed as a way to "continue funding quality educational programs." The measure includes a senior citizen exemption option.
Measure C for Inverness Permanent Road Division No. 2 called for a special tax of $1,417 per improved parcel and $708 per unimproved parcel per year for 10 years."
