| | Inverness California |
 | | Inverness - Shafter was a Scotsman - served as a summer town from the start, a magnet for many of the Bay Area's comfortable set and later, refugees from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake who unknowlingly relocated atop the same, mischievous San Andreas Fault. |
 | | To walk the shady lanes under a canopy of bay, oak, and pine, is to sense a bygone era of endless family picnics, with kids meeting up to adventure in the woods or camp on the beach - an era, observes local writer John Grissim, which if it didn't exist, it certainly should have. |
 | | For the visitor, Inverness marks the last settlement before entering the mass of the Point Reyes National Seashore, 72,000 acres of wilderness and beach and ranchland from which one can still see San Francisco. |
