We arrived at Tomales Bay at around 1:00 PM. Jen, Steven, and I cooked lunch while Nas, Stephen, and Jon started pumping the raft. The sky was beautifully clear, and the water looked fresh blue.

At around 4:00 PM, I decided to start packing. I found out then that I was the only one excited about the idea of watching the elks. So I changed the plan and headed to our campground.
It was around 5:00 PM when we arrived at the campground. Our site was nicely located by the river. Unfortunately though, the site was very close to the main road. Imagine the sound of flowing water and the passing motors. Ya.. not so nice.
I started to prepare for dinner: beef curr + rice for main dish, and yogurt for the desert. Glad that everybody liked it.
Then the fun time. Bonfire. Interesting thing Jon found where he shined the flashlight around the smoke to show as if he was holding the sword of a Jedi Knight. It prompted Jen and I to experiment capturing the scene with our Canon digital cameras.

At the bonfire, we discovered the perfect way of roasting a marshmallow. It's not at the top of the fire, not in the heart of the fire, but by placing the marshmallow near the part of the log that has just been burnt, where it creates hot smokes slowly roasting the marshmallow to its brownish colour.
Then at night, we played cards a bit, played the silent game a bit, played uno a bit, shared some stories a bit, then went to our sleeping bags.
