Tug-of-War

On the 4th of July, tradition has the towns of Bolinas and Stinson Beach engage in a fiercely fought tug-of-war, with the rope stretched across the inlet of the Bolinas Lagoon. My picture shows the Bolinas men's team pulling to a victory, driven by the crowd's ear-splitting shout of "pull, pull, pull"! Earlier, the Bolinas women lost on an unfortunate technicality.
 
Don't tell anyone, but each year Bolinas sports the best Independence Day celebration of Northern California! You won't find Bolinas anyway, because the Bolinas Border Patrol religeously removes all signs pointing to the town as soon as they are put up!
