Our camping neighbors in Point Reyes were great. Gary and Kris were a very helpful resource for us. They frequent this area every year so they were full of information. They also invited us over to roast marshmallows a couple of nights. One tip they led us to was to a maritime historic site. This was one of the locations where they translated Morse code. This place closed down about 12 years ago or so but open up once a year on the anniversary of their closure. They had a few people sending out and receiving messages. One "expert" explained all the different models of the devices. It was a very neat learning experience because the kids and I read "The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart this past school year. In the book 4 gifted children try to save the world. In the story they communicate to their friends using Morse Code.
The trees lining this driveway is the path leading to the maritime building.
