Angel Island

Who: Stan
Where: Angel Island State Park in San Francisco Bay

Why: You catch a boat from San Francisco or Tiburon to get there, that's the first part of the adventure. Then you find this recovering-wilderness smack dab in the middle of San Francisco Bay, surrounded by but separated from all the urbanization of the area. The poignant history of the Island's immigration station adds to the experience. If you can get a reservation, an overnight campout on the Island is hard to beat - just you and the raccoons with the lights of San Francisco Bay cities surrounding you.
