Art's, Inspiration and the PCT by Daniel Carmin-Romack
The Art, inspiration, and the PCT is about the author Daniel Carmin-Romack telling us about how he clicked on the website article of outdoors lover and Stephen McMillan and was actually thrilled about it. The article was mainly about where Stephen lived, spent most of his time, and traveled and with who. He was born in Berkeley, California, he had his first one man show when he was only 16. In his senior year of high school his friend John Zalabak, spoke up the idea to walk to L.A that morphed into walking the John Muir Trail. Twenty years later they walked the same trail again. Stephen was also a artist who drew the beautiful nature he sax as he traveled.
