Description: Before the bridges were built, the San Francisco Bay environment hosted shipping, sailing, submarines, walks at Land's End, air shows with crowds on the piers, and other activities. The people who created this reel also spend time in the Delta playing, fishing, boating, and having a cookout on the shore of the Sacramento River. Also with hiking and playing in a mountain stream, and a trip to the zoo.
