Actor Matthew McConaughey might be available for a hiking part.  I know he
hikes because I encountered him on a deserted section of the Sky Trail at
Point Reyes National Seashore last winter.  He was a very friendly and
personable fellow.  He was hiking with a woman who I didn't recognize at the
time, but who I later identified as Penelope Cruz with the help of my wife's
People magazine.  She didn't talk much.  Apparently he is traveling around
the country in his Airstream trailer to promote his new movie "Sahara."  I
apologize for being a name dropper.
