What the creator captured
Vagabrothers experienced a rare wildlife encounter by spotting a California condor perched on the side of the road before heading into San Francisco. The day focused on reuniting a massive crew of 14 creators to coordinate the next leg of their California road trip. Although they originally planned to camp near Yosemite, they ultimately decided to stay in the city to prepare for an early start the following morning.
