Recently I joined a wonderful barbecue put on by the good folks who produce Weekend Sherpa, a weekly newsletter and website which is all about great outdoors things to do in Northern California. Walking the talk, they set their celebration in a little-known Northern California treasure: Treasure Island, in san Francisco Bay. The barbecue site boasted million-dollar views of the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz and the Bay Bridge — and even more extraordinary for a sunny weekend afternoon, we had the entire site (barbecue grill, picnic table, wide grassy field) all to ourselves. The one-day mini-getaway reminded me once again that adventures are all around us: We just need to know where — and how — to look.
