"Fitty Shrimp on the Appalachian Trail" - the Movie

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Henry David Thoreau



So it's been a very lazy two months since returning to civilization. I've been fortunate to spend lots of time visiting with family and helping my folks celebrate their 60th anniversary.





There were thousands of hiking photos and video clips to pick through, which kept me occupied while I loafed around, allowing my worn out body to rest and recuperate. The result is a 58-minute movie, the story of my 205-day adventure on the Appalachian Trail. It was great fun piecing this together, picking the perfect background song for each segment and seeing all those faces again. No matter how many times I watch this, I'll still get a bit choked up. I'm not sure how to top the year I've just had, but I have a few ideas.. stay tuned!

Enjoy the movie!
