Being Caribou

"April 8, 2003: Karsten Heuer & Leanne Allison left the remote community of Old Crow,Yukon, to join the Porcupine Caribou Herd on their epic life journey. For 5 months the Canadians migrated on foot with the 123,000-member herd from wintering to calving grounds in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and back again -- 1500km across snow and tundra. They completed their journey on Sept. 8, 2003 and headed straight to Washington, DC to tell politicians & activists what they found."

Going to see this big screen this evening, after being amazed by parts I saw on TV--caribou swirling fractally like sandpipers or bugs. It's playing at the old Fiesta Theatre--mostly closed now, for many years the only and then one of only two in Nanaimo--that I haven't set foot in for years.
