S.F. Bay Area Science Festival on Oct. 23rd-Nov.1st

The festival runs from Oct. 23rd–Nov. 1st and occurs all over the Bay Area. For more information, see http://www.bayareascience.org/.

One point of interest: The Bay Model Visitors Center, which is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers is located in Sausalito.

Pursuant to the BA Sci. Fest., on Saturday, October 25th, at 1:30 PM, the Bay Model team intends to fill the Bay Model from scratch. This is an uncommon opportunity to witness the unfolding of [25,000] years of geological/natural history and human action. Did you know that they entire SF Bay estuary is only about 6,000 years old? That our estuary sits in a valley, whereas most similar geological structures sit at in river deltas? (Think Nile, Volga, Mississippi, Yangtze, Amazon, etc.)

No reservations needed on October 25th, they’ll just fill it and narrate, and whoever is there can see and learn and enjoy.

At the Bay Model Visitors Center, admission is free, programs are free, and parking is free.

FYI, the ferry terminal in Sausalito is about 1 mile from the Visitors Center, very walkable!
