I Saw The Marker
Wow, this marker is in an amazing spot. Just 1/4 mile off Highway 13 on Joaquin Miller Drive, it marks Miller's still-standing (boarded up) cottage "The Abbey" in "The Hights." Nearby are a shed used to store Miller's artifacts (with a fireplace inside); a statue of Miller on horseback; and a WPA built amphitheater with elaborate stone steps and pathways. The site is now a park owned by the city of Oakland.
