Trek Assessment #1

There were two specific situations during my first two treks that caused some issues, coincidentally one from each. On my first trek, I successfully received two parking tickets from the ranger on my car. Initially I parked near the beach, figuring that would be where I would collect most of my sounds. However my permit expired after 5:00 pm, so I received my first ticket. Then, wanting to gather some ambience sounds from in the woods at sundown, I parked near the campground where my permit expired at 7:00 and I didn’t return until 8:00. Actually it was kind of creepy, I had to pick up the pace because it started getting dark out so fast.

On my second trek, the purpose being to gather images, I wanted things that were very specific and did NOT include people. This was much more difficult than I thought it would be, especially when fulfilling my second strategy, which was to take a shot every fifty steps or so in the park, I had to do a lot of waiting for people to pass.
