The Appalachian Trail in winter (2012) 

Great music once again. Inspiring. Chills

Thank you! the town lights in the valley are from Luray, VA. in the Shenandoah Vally.

pretty music and very good photos

Thank you very much Greta!

Thank you.

Not much of a Winter eh Buddy!! Great footage, especially the night shot!!☺

Thank you!

Thanks!

Who actually made the trail?...Was it always for recreation or was it used for something?

Thanks. The video was shot with a few different old Nikkor lenses, and a Canon 7d camera body.

A guy named Benton Mackaye came up with the idea in the 20's while sitting a top a mountain. At that time there were a lot of trails along the appalachians with huge gaps. Myron Avery from Lubec Maine was responsible for the dream come true. He was the first one to walk the entire distance, with a milage wheel, and figure out where the trail should be. Myron pushed that wheel the entire way, and from there it is history. Myron was one amazing guy. Tough as nails Mainer.

Thanks, and that is great news about the new moon on a shower night. What perfect timing. I feel a fever coming on. I may need to call in sick next month.

We got screwed out of 13 inches here. Our average is 15 inches a year. I had the windows open almost the entire season. It reached 80 once in February I think. A big rip off from old man winter around here that's for sure.

Thank you Matt. The Star-Lapse was of Luray VA. The DREWnetwork is very close to there somewhere in a secret location.

Beautiful just beautiful! No matter what time of year it is on The Trail I love seeing what you bring us :-) Thanks..

Our secret, undisclosed global command center is twenty or so miles south of Luray.

Your work is truly amazing. It really captures the trail. The cinematography is top-notch, and the editing is great. It always makes my day when I see a new video up from you.

Great vid :-)

Earl Shaffer, Benton Mackaye, Nimblewill Nomad and Grandma Gatewood, you honor them all with your videos, Thank you

Some very magnificent and powerful images in this video. Outstanding work!

This sparks a desire in me to get my gear and dog and hit the trail this winter.....thanks! Beautiful video.

Is it me or does Luray VA look bigger from the trail at night.

What an incredible work of art! The music adds so much to the visuals.
