Day in the Life

Sep 19, 1897

Journal Entry

September 19, 1897 ~ Sunday

Sunday Sept 19th after breakfast we went to the wharf & took steamer for
"Sausalita." pd 40 cents each to Mill Valley by train — we then changed to the "Tamalpas"
train $100 each. This is a marvelous road to the top of the mountain. on an air
line it would be 3 miles, but as the ascent is 2500 feet it makes 8 1/4 miles
over the tortuous winding course. I do not think is over 20 rods in more than
one place and not to exceed more than 5 rods in 3 other places on the road that is
straight, it is winding all the time. The road bed is cut out of solid rock of
the mountain all the way except a few short trussels crossing ravines. The
Hotel near the top is a very commodious house. from the hotel Bro Nuttall walked
to the top stone which is 2592 fort high. On a clear day one can see 60 miles
out to sea, along the California Coast south to SaPoint San Pedro, the Cliff
house, golden gate, San Francisco, Oakland &c. We returned at 6 pm
I was quite tired on getting to the Hotel.
