Point San Quentin

Standing on the shores of Point San Quentin, I imagine Mount Tamalpais, silhouetted in the distance, as an erupting volcano with rivers of lava flowing through what is now Corte Madera Creek, where the ferry commutes up and down the channel. If sped up into a time lapse, you’d see ice ages come and go, mastodons, indigenous people, settlers, sailors, and scoundrels, many of whom would end up here — like me.
