About a 15-minute walk north from the Sausalito ferry landing is the Bay Model. It is a working 1.5-acre model of the San Francisco Bay operated by the Army Corps of Engineers that simulated the bay's tidal conditions. Unfortunately, it was closed the day I visited.

 

It wasn't a total loss though as directly outside the front entrance was a device that I had not seen in well over 20 years, with many only reading about it in history books . . . a working payphone! When I picked up the receiver, I couldn't believe my ears . . . a dial tone. I put in 50 cents and used the opportunity to call my host and thank him for a delicious Friendsgiving porchetta he had prepared a few days prior.

 
If you post the attached. please let me know. 

 
Thanks,
