A video of my Appalachian Trail hike with “New York Minute,” in 2008

For most of the country it is cold, maybe snow covered and the nights are long. The video included here has nothing to do with long distance bike riding, but it does show long distance hiking, my other favorite activity.

I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2007-2008. As many of my readers know, I didn’t do it all in one year because I had to leave the trail in Virginia (starting in Georgia), after 600 miles of hiking,  because I needed a six-artery heart bypass operation. After recovering for 300 days I did get back on the trail and finish walking all 2200 miles.

“New York Minute” and I hiked together on-and-off from southern Virginia in the 2008 section. He did a very nice video of our last 100+ miles in Maine. If you’re bored, or snowed in, get a hot tea, sit back and enjoy watching a true outdoor adventure.
