Description: In the most unique scene in this reel, a northern California family gathers for the processing of Abalone at a coastal cabin, with an elder in a wetsuit grinning as children look on while expert hands process the haul. This sequence jumps out among others that are centered on landscape photography of the terrain, with studied views of mountains and forests, coastlines and hillscapes, and with a visit to Fort Ross and a ride on the Skunk train.
