This is a 38 minute slideshow documenting my thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail in 1994. I mixed the video two years after my hike in Charlotte, NC using an old VHS camera and a mic/mixing system from the Video Editor. The technology is archaic by today’s standards but it captured the moment at the time. (See this link for a shorter, more recent, and higher quality video production.)
The slideshow clocks in at nearly 40 minutes (which is likely too long for most), and my kids tell me I sound a bit sad in the early narration. But be patient – things pick up as we close in on Katahdin. If nothing else, it’s a look back at the A.T. in the early 90’s before modern technology caught up with the Trail and when most hikers recorded their hike with a 35mm camera.
