Pacific Crest Trail Documentary: "Walking the West"

This video about the Pacific Crest Trail(PCT) was an inspiration to me during my early hiking days. It's great to watch the guys in this film transform from their city life into dirty thru hikers. While I have not yet walked the PCT this film always makes me want to get up and go!

This is a great example of how man can work with nature to create functional structures that are sustainable. It's important to note the dedication and patience while forming these bridges. This is not a instant reward but the payoff is well worth the time and effort. Let Meghalayas' living bridges be an example and inspiration to us all!

How I Got My Trail Name

After trying to avoid the mud day after day I decided to just go for it. I took off running and thought I would school lil' Buddha by flying over the mud traps with my graceful speed. Instead my shoe got swallowed up and sucked off! This was the moment my trail name changed from "Just Jon" to "Johnny Mud Foot"

Two Moose Playing on Lake Moxie

This was one of my favorite mornings on the Appalachian Trail. When I first woke up I didn't know what the noise was, but was pleasantly surprised to find two moose playing in Lake Moxie. At one point they were both running right at me, but in the excitement of the moment I forgot to hit the record button. One of the many beautiful moments in Maine.
