Try: Climbing Hill 88
As an incentive for one of our Marin Decathlon adventures — this is the last week to participate! — we are taking a closer look at the historical and one might say stunning Hill 88 site in the Marin Headlands. Natural beauty aside, the “stun” factor can apply to the array of concrete buildings decorated with impressive graffiti. The Nike site SF-88 was built to deploy the Nike Hercules missiles that had a range of 87 miles. Obviously, they were never used, but remain today as a reminder of the fearful days of the Cold War.
Make: Salted Caramel Apple Pie
At Posie in Larkspur, everything from cookies to biscuits to the cobbler added to ice cream bases is organic and made in-house. The bases are also pasteurized on site. “Pasteurizing is time-consuming and tedious, but doing it in the shop allows a lot of creative control to adjust the base for every flavor,” says owner Kyle Caporicci. Here, he shares a recipe that’s perfect year-round — salted caramel apple pie, topped with ice cream of course.
