I have been trying to walk stretches of Paradise Drive (not technically part of the developed Bay Trail and shown as a dotted line on 2012-2013 Bay Trail map set) for a few weeks now. However, it's not a stretch of road I hike after dusk, due to narrow setbacks and cars and bicycles that tend to appear suddenly around corners.
However, today's section of Paradise Drive was a bit safer than previous sections.
Some areas had wider setbacks, and today I was actually walking on a cement sidewalk (something I hadn't seen in awhile). Generally a sign that I'm returning to a more developed area.

I walked until I reached the intersection of Ranch Road and Paradise Drive, before turning around and heading back.
I smiled as I passed carports on Paradise Drive with million dollar views of the Bay. (These carports were, arguably, nicer than my entire house.)
And, through the trees, I caught sight of East Brother Light Station, located on a small island in the bay with a Victorian Bed and Breakfast that will accommodate overnight visitors (by reservation only). The two Brother islands (East and West) could be glimpsed in the far distance, through/under the Richmond - San Rafael Bridge.
