The Lords of the PCT, part three

I talked to Erin and Michael last week while I was still in pre-production for the epic trilogy, The Lords of the PCT. I asked Michael, "Who do you think you are in Lord of Rings: Frodo or Sam?"

"Probably Merry or Pippin," he responded.

"Michael, that was not one of your options," I patiently replied. "Frodo or Sam?"

"I guess Samwise," he sighed. "I carry a lot of stuff."

I asked my sister the same question: "Erin, if you were in the Lord of the Rings, would you be Frodo or Sam?"

"Definitely Sam," Erin said immediately. "I'm not as whiny as Frodo."

(For this reason I have left my casting choices in LotPCT rather vague.)
(Besides, it's obvious that both Erin and Michael would really be Eowyn. They're much too tall to be hobbitses.)

My friends, it is with great pleasure that I present to you:

THE RETURN OF THE HANLEYS




If you can't see the video here, check it out on Youtube.

As I write, Erin and Michael are within hours of finishing their hike. They'll be back in Seattle by late tomorrow.

Jorge and Longlegs, I am so proud of you!

With love,
Megan

The Lords of the PCT

Dear ones,

Erin and Michael are within a stone's throw of Canada-- at least if the stone is a good flyer. In celebration of their (knock on wood) finishing the hike, I've made them a little movie or three.
This is part one:

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE PCT

We're almost there, dear readers!
