The California Coast can often build up a huge bank of fog… this fog will roll inland until the heat of the day dissipates it. In our case it finds entry into the canyon through the narrow mouth…. one can awaken in the morning in the canyon to a beautiful blue sky with a bright sun, unimpaired by fog… then a short drive to the mouth of the canyon and you are presented with a hundred foot high fog-bank…. it’s lights-on for the next few hours along the coast!
Tracy Sellers the host of the television program ‘California country’ came by and interviewed us. You can watch as she grapples with the mighty cactus plants right alongside me on the terraces of the canyon.
A friend is starting a non-profit organization that really sounds like the type of thing that can make a difference. Please read and consider….

Greetings family and friends,
With little free time, in the middle of post production on my first feature film, I finally started a non profit organization that I have been wanting to do for a few years now. It is called “Hoods To Woods” I want to take disadvantaged and critically ill children on camping adventures. It kills me that so many kids live so close to the mountains and beach and have never been out of their neighborhood. There is a temp web site up www.hoodstowoods.org.
Per the advice of a supporter, I am writing to ask if you could find the time to please write a brief letter of support, on your official letterhead if you have any.
We are going to take the letters and use them to get grants and other support from sporting goods companies etc.
Please simply write, in your own words, how you think this is a good idea, a worthwhile effort, you fully support helping children etc. (no need to write “Duh! who would not want to help poor kids?”)
So far I have the interest of the Los Angeles Sheriffs department and some other cool names.
I am really excited to make a difference in these kids lives and to spend more time camping too!
