Martin Yewchuk is a documentary filmmaker and is the producer and director at Elestial Productions, based in California. His film, The Greeter, tells the story of Eiler Larsen and several other former (and current) “greeters” of Laguna Beach.
In 1930 Eiler Larsen set out on what is the first recorded attempt of what we call an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. He didn't make it in one year. He got a little distracted.
