Blog Post Assignment 3

     This article was talking about a man named Stephen McMillian. He was interested in landscaping since he was a child. His senior year, Stephen and his friend (John Zalabak) decided to walk to L.A., but instead hiked the John Muir trail. Twenty years after the John Muir hike, they decided to hike the PCT. On this hike, they took pictures and made aquatint etch art.
