Last summer, I somehow got the idea in my head to hike the Appalachian Trail, all 2,185 miles of it, from the North Georgia mountains to Maine. I'm not quite sure how or why this thought came to me. Since then, I have gone on a number of "practice hikes," once a week or so, in all kinds of weather, usually between 8 and 14 miles, just to see if this would be physically possible.
This is a video created from footage of a day hike at Gambrill State Park just west of Frederick, Maryland. A passion for nature and the outdoors seems to be one of the driving forces leading me to want to live outside in the wilderness for about six months beginning sometime in March.
