On my vacation, I took a hike in Marin County at Point Reyes National Seashore to Tomales Point, passing through an elk reserve. It was my Petaluma friend Scott’s idea. He also asked if he could make a video for a class assignment. Since he was nice enough to let me sleep on his family’s sofa for two nights, how could I say no?

All I did was take direction, but you might get a kick out of it, and it’s only two minutes long.

The cameras I’m holding are his. And you might be interested to know that actually, we saw the elk first, before we’d even parked the car. Only after that did we take the hike.
