Bolinas is a small village located on the Pacific Coast of Marin County north of San Francisco. There are no road signs telling you it's there; a ploy by residents to keep visitors away. (It doesn't work!) We were there in the 1978 when it was still an old hippies' town to watch a local production of The Music Man. We visited again in the late 1990s but it had lost a lot of its authentic charm.
