3 weeks road trip in west USA - Discovering Sausalito's houseboat community

During our stay in San Francisco we rented a car for a day to be able to drive to Sausalito, Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, Bolinas and it's lagoon, and Muir Woods National Park.

The Sausalito houseboat community consists of more than 400 houseboats of various shapes, sizes, and values, along the north end of town.

The roots of the Houseboat Community lie in the re-use of abandoned boats and material after the de-commissioning of the Marinship shipyards at the end of World War II. Many anchor-outs came to the area, which created problems with sanitation and other issues. After a series of tense confrontations in the 1970s and 1980s additional regulations were applied to the area and the great majority of boats were relocated to approved docks. Several are architect-designed pieces that have been featured in major magazines.


Between the 13th of May and the 3rd of June 2013 we spent 3 wonderful weeks in the west part of USA. It was our first trip in this part of USA, and each day was full of surprises, with countless breathtaking landscapes.

After 3 days in San Francisco, and a flight to Las Vegas, we began our long road trip (3.000 miles i.e. 4.800 km and more than 70 hours driving on the wonderful scenic roads from one park to another).
