Comments:

Coppertone and I started off where we last ended our walk along the SF Bay Trail and followed the remainder of the path around Richmond Harbor. There's quite a bit of history to be learned along this part of the trail with all of the markers, to say nothing of the Rosie the Riveter/Homefront National Park.

Just beyond the National Park building the trail ends at the waterfront. Technically the SF Bay Trail continues north on Harbor Way, but it's little more than a sidewalk at this point. We turned back and called it a day with our 3.8 mile out and back.
