A few years ago, legislation passed to allow the killing of native Tule Elk in Point Reyes National Seashore amid pressure from the ranching community, who want room for their cattle to graze and roam. Cows outnumber Tule Elk by a factor of 10 to 1 in Point Reyes. Brought back from the edge of extinction, today the Tule Elk are again threatened … in a national seashore where commercial private gain is winning out against what national parks are supposed to do: protect and preserve the natural environment. The controversy surrounding Bill HR6687, sponsored by Democratic member of Congress Jared Huffman, has intensified since—and now a short and excellent film by Daniel Dietrich (danieldietrich.com) is making the rounds at film festivals, sharing important and vital information about this situation. Brad and Holly discuss this film and the Tule Elk that are a natural part of Point Reyes. They also share details and tips on some beautiful short hikes in wine country, filled with wildflowers and wondrous views, along with how to stay cool in SoCal when you want to get outdoors for an adventure and the weather is unseasonably hot.
