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!

Wow!!! Well that was worth the wait. Loved seeing Morgan on here... Love that boy! It made me tear up and I wasn't even there. I'm not sure how you return to your old life after that. I would be lost... Wonderful video!!! Happy trails :)
ReplyDeleteOh and keep us posted on whats next... PCT??? You should get the APP Yonder by Green Mountain Digital. A wonderful App to see places others have been.I will warn you, It can be addictive! Your pictures would be great and I am sure others would love to hear about your experiences... Check it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for watching and for following along! PCT is one of the things being pondered, but probably would not happen in 2015. I will come up with something, unless I decide to get a job, ugh. Oh, much love to Morgan, great kid, had many laughs together!
DeleteI spoke to Morgan yesterday. He is pondering the same... Haha! I have been pondering for far too long myself. I would love to know how you finally made it happen. I am 51 now and life (as wonderful as it's been) has certainly gotten in the way. Might be time for BIG changes... Until then, I'm happy packing the backcountry and bagging those peaks :)
