If I can’t go outside now, maybe I can go outdoors in history. Wild Film History, 100 years of wildlife filmmaking, looks excellent.

This is the kind of news that the internet is great for. Eric Ryback was the first person to through-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 1970, at 18 years old. His book was an inspiration for my hike in 1996. I always wondered if he remained an avid hiker after that. This year the Onion attended the PCT kickoff party, and who showed up to give a presentation but Mr. Ryback himself! How cool. Thanks to the Onion for sharing!
