Footloose Forays

Footloose Forays Footloose Forays is a small travel business begun in 1983 while I was still in graduate school at San Francisco State University. I lead every single trip.

It has grown slowly and organically through the intervening years. I have taken over 10,000 people on various natural history outings ranging from 4-hour night hikes on Mt. Tam to three week adventures in Ecuador. I have enjoyed nearly every minute of this work. The Buddhists refer to the importance of right livelihood and I have been lucky enough to find that. Footloose Forays = Michael Ellis. I

have no staff except when I enlist my son to help me. I have a very high repeat business and most trips fill up way in advance. One of the many blessings is the lovely relationships that I have with my fellow naturalists all over the world.

This part of the world in Africa has plenty of wonderful felines in which to name a petrol gas after. But what do they choose? the American puma. Also known as the cougar or mountain lion and probably a dozen other common names. Puma is the quicuhai word for this cat.

I bought a big bottle of cold water and soft drinks for all these guys. I paid 10,000 shillings. And got change. This is all less than four dollars. I gave the shopkeeper the change.
