A roomful of adventurers joined me the other night at the Phoenix, Oregon library for my talk, All Paths Begin in Santiago. I led listeners on Sue’s and my journeys on eight distance paths, capped by California’s John Muir Trail, the subject of my third trekking book, Hoofin’ It on the John Muir Trail. I am so appreciative of the support and send heartfelt thanks to every reader of my books.
It may be too early to save places on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for us, but Sue and I have made our television debut.
Stephen Long, host of The Writing Life, a series that airs on a McMinnville (near Portland) Comcast community station, invited us to his show. He had read Camino Sunrise: Walking With My Shadows before walking the Camino himself and posed questions about our experiences and the book.
Steve made us feel at home, just like we felt after just one day on our first distance trail in Spain so many miles ago. Sue and I invite you to join us by clicking on the link below. No retakes were offered, so all our words were final answers.
Actually, it was my second TV appearance; I had a very small lip-syncing role on an episode of the hit series Solid Gold in the early 1980s.
