Dreamer here,
It has been almost exactly one year since our first Blog
post announcing our intentions to attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian
Trail. I believe this is Blog post
number 72. Terri & I have tried our
best to describe: our intentions, our feelings, planning and logistics,
clothing and gear, as well as all things Charlie our dog. Hopefully, if you are considering a journey
like this, our Blog posts will be of benefit to you.
We now have 168 “likes” on our Facebook page at:
facebook.com/tntonthetrail, mostly friends and family trying to keep up with
the adventures of Team TNT. Terri has
had lots of fun connecting with so many of you and she will be all things
Facebook, as our trek continues.
We are approaching 200 “followers” on Twitter! Simply amazing! Five months ago, I did not even know what a
tweet was. And now we have people from
all over the world, most of which I have no idea who they are. All I know is they are interested in two old
farts planning for and soon to be attempting thru-hike of the A.T. For Team TNT, I will be all things
Twitter. I will do my best to upload
photos and video as we move North from Springer Mountain.
Until last summer, I really had never seriously taken an
interest in shooting or working with video on a computer. Now, I find it my delight using my video
camera and working with Final Cut X in order to produce fun and hopefully
informative videos. As I write this we
have had over 1,700 views on 17 videos at: youtube.com/tntonthetrail. Again, amazing! I cannot begin to tell you how much I am
looking forward to capturing as much as possible as Terri, Charlie & I move
up the trail towards Mt. Katahdin. My
plan is to send my computer to places along the trail where we will be taking a
break and during those down times, work on creating some short videos for
YouTube. I will then mail the SD Cards
with the finished projects to my son-in-law Nate to upload them for me from
home. Nate, I cannot begin to tell you
how much I appreciate your willingness to take this on for me!
Our last video can be found here: http://youtu.be/wFc_5dwzvWE Terri & I are attempting to do our
best at showing our appreciation for all of you that have played such an
important role in our lives and this great adventure we are standing on the
threshold of. Our next post will be from
the Appalachian Trail!!!
~Team TNT
PS Thanks to Jason Gray “Good to be Alive” and “Remind me who I am in You”.
