On the 26th April 2026, my parents and I took a trip to the Marin Headlands in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, CA. We also visited The Marine Mammal Center (2000 Bunker Rd, Sausalito, CA 94965). It was a fun trip, however very tiring. I took photos with my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
Message from the Photographer: Unfortunately my physical health continues to fail due to Long COVID, and my mental health has been very very bad these past few months. Unfortunately I've been going out (no matter how exhausted I am) and prioritizing mental health at the moment, even though these trips is detrimental to my physical health.
First stop of the trip was The Marine Mammal Center (2000 Bunker Rd, Sausalito, CA 94965). There was not many patients at the hospital on this trip.

Up next, I went for a short slow hike near Fort Cronkhite and Rodeo Beach at Marin Headlands in Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Unfortunately, I did not get very far due to my Long COVID fatigue and energy issues.
