Biedarway Journal Ft. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co. Calif. (1) Nov. 11, 1966 November 11, 1966. Ft. Baker, the place where I related the last 2 observations. It's a very misty morning; the mist has just lifted or is just lifting, but when I first got here, there was a heavy mist and I had to keep the windshield wipers going. I think it'll get better in a little while. 6:55: I've spent the last 1/2 hour driving around Ft. Cronkite and Ft. Barry on the other side where I was looking for a place to watch but didn't find any real good place although it looks promising over there. There aren't any off-limits places at all, so that I could probably work something out over there. I'm looking at this rock, several cormorants perched on it, looks like most of the activity hasn't started yet. I see 16 on the rock right now. A few cormorants are flying; maybe the activity has started in the Bay. There goes a fishing boat out. I think it'll be a pretty good day all in all. The tide looks pretty low right now because these rocks are exposed that I mentioned a couple times ago as being exposed only at low tide. Must be crab season because people are going out to the end of this pier over here with crab nets. 7:01: make a count: In--4; Out--0.
