"I once decided not to date a guy because he wasn't
excited to meet my dog. I mean, this was like not wanting to meet my mother." ~

more than one way to catch a mailman"...New Yorker ______________________________________________________
These are sea-level times, but as
our Park is in a valley below the Almonte Ridge, the effective sunset is earlier. There is good light for about
25 minutes after these times.

interested in daily sunrise/set as well as moonrise/set, click on the month links below which will open monthly calendars
showing each day's events. The first "twi" is the start of the morning twilight, then sunrise, sunset and
finally, the second "twi" which is the end of civil twilight and when it will be - DARK. Most people will wish to leave the Park by sunset. By MV ordinance,
the Park is officially closed 30 minutes after sunset. After the end of evening twilight, you may wish to have a light
of some kind with you and, possibly, lights attached to your dog.

For those who wish
to know, the Mill Valley Dog Park's coordinates are:
37°53'35"N 122°31'30"W _______________________________________________________________________________________ "This past Thanksgiving, my father was at the farm, and I had all 11 dogs in the house
with a father who never allowed dogs in the house. And he got up to leave the table and came back and Solomon was in his chair.
And he says, 'This dog is in my chair.' And I said, 'It's the other way around, you're sitting in his
chair." ~ Oprah Winfrey, on her American spaniel, who shares the house with ten other
dogs, including six golden retrievers
The following tide link is the best we have found
so far. Low tides at the dog park will be slightly later than at Sausalito which are shown on this chart.
Because winter tides are more extreme and because Richardson Bay is shallow, our park experiences very high and very low tides;
so low that the adjacent bay is down to mud twice a day. Beginning in May, the tidal range is gradually reduced and,
by summer, the muddy bottom is not seen.
