Muir Woods
I visited Muir Woods National Park, which is near Mill Valley, CA in the north SF Bay Area, with a couple of friends on a day when 2.55" of rain fell.
One of the great things about Muir woods is looking up at the tall redwoods, unfortunately, the rain was coming down so hard that if you looked up, you'd get a stinging rain drop in your eyeball...
I wish I had been able to take more pictures, but the lens kept fogging up on my camera, and it was getting so wet I thought it might stop working.
This is #8 of 10 NPS locations I'm hoping to visit before the end of October.
