Take a Few Steps

The guy who made this film--here introduced as Buster--happens to be someone I know.

I met Collin in Antarctica, where he was a Dining Attendant (dishwasher); when he said that he hailed from Fairbanks, I offered my condolences and admitted that I had just fled from there. He asked good-naturedly if I wanted "to do that thing where we find out how many acquaintances we have in common," and I declined (politely, I hope, but vehemently, I'm sure). Eventually I heard that he'd played the fiddle in many of the same music groups as Maureen, a violist/barista I knew from the ACRC. At some point during the season Collin gave a presentation on his solo bike tour through South America that was pretty awesome. I wouldn't say we were friends--but it's funny how paths cross this way. I had no idea he was on the PCT last year.

Downhill to the border, I got it. Thanks, man!
