Alcatraz ~ Alcatraz Island (/ˈælkəˌtræz/) is a small island 1.25 miles (2.01 km) offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1934, the island was converted into a federal prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The strong currents around the island and cold water temperatures made escape nearly impossible, and the prison became one of the most notorious in American history. In 1963 Bobby Kennedy ordered the prison closed, and the island is now a major tourist attraction. Some of its most notorious prisoners were ...

Bottom right - a person dressed as a bush who sits in a large planter and moves suddenly to scare passerby's. Middle bottom - Bridge of locks with a river cruiser in the background. Bottom left - I am not sure what these buildings are, but I love them. To me, they look like they belong in the Swiss Alps.

The only ones missing was the 2 boys, Kenneth and Tristan. (Psst, you should have been there, we had a BLAST!) The only one missing from the mob was Libby, Jennifer Cross's daughter. She's attending University and couldn't break free. First we bowled at the local alley (Pheasant Lanes) for a bit, then lunch/dinner at The Tasty Crab. A group of 19 at two in the afternoon! They did an excellent job in caring for us, and we...

A stone tells us that the Federation of Planets hero will be born there in 2228 (although some online sites claim his DOB is 2238).
