Remains of Point Pinole Explosives Factory, East Bay

For a visit to the East Bay, Point Pinole offers some visual sights of interest. Originally the location of an explosives factory (where more than a few accidents occured), there only remains now a very few skeletal structures of buildings, really just traces here and there, and berms that were possibly used for explosive tests. Now the area has been converted to a beautiful park.
