You forgot to mention that there are no trash containers, so you have to take your trash back with you to dispose of it back on the main land. Very enjoyable and informative video. I would have liked to have seen a little more on the night time experience camping. Beautiful video though.

Interesting update. I went to the Cate School in Carpinteria and took a weekend camping trip to Santa Cruz in 1961 or ‘62. Looking at the map, I think we camped in Potato Harbor. Kind of fits with the sailing directions which warn of westerly winds: our boat dragged its anchor in the night and we had to quickly get the captain out to it so that he could clear the rocks and stay outside in the Channel for the rest of the night.

Got to work on Santa Cruz 25 years ago as a hunting guide. Back then in 79 there was 1000's of Marino Sheep and 1000's of pigs to hunt. It was so incredible to live out there flying back and forth, Dr Staunton still I owned most of the island. He finally gave it to "Nature Conservative " and they rid the island of the sheep and pigs killing them and leaving them to Rot where they fell. There was Chumash Indian skeletons all over the island and we always left them alone, lots of Island Foxes also, Santa Cruz has some critters only found on that Island and plants also. Even a Iron Wood Grove, how did that get there?

The island Fox as they are named is a species of Fox unique to the Channel Islands. 6 out of 8 islands have populations and each island has a unique sub species. They only get about house cat size. Apparently they are descendent from the grey foxes on the mainland but they have been isolated for around 16-20,000 years since the last ice age ended. Pretty cool 😎
