EPISODE 1 -- Eric Robinson wanted to hike the world’s greatest trails. He was happiest when spending weeks in the wild, and he often went out alone. Eric’s wife, Marilyn Koolstra, supported him in this goal. But the situation changed when Eric went missing on a solo trek to the Cascade Saddle in New Zealand. This episode traces the origins of Eric Robinson’s passion for trekking, the past traumas he tried to soothe in nature, and the midlife romance that brought Marilyn into his life.
