Assorted LS of RVs and campers with Christmas lights. Whereas the previous B-roll of these images was at night, this is a daytime shoot. Also, there is a cutaway of a man walking among the bushes, close-up of fish swimming in water and MS of desert sandy slab area. Beginning of interview with Dry Gulch (Michael Mack) as he describes his semi-hermit lifestyle; living in Ohio, Fresno, etc; pollution and how that makes the lights twinkle at night. (see tapes #176 & #177 for more with Dry Gulch) He also speaks about how people have things stolen from their rigs—“People parked right next to each other and don’t know each other’s names.”
