Miles to Maine
Product
Description
Inspired by Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, director
Douglas Morse and producer Heide Estes traveled to the southern
terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. They became
fascinated with all of the hikers they met. From Jack, who
got stuck with an angry dog, to Malice and Kentucky, the
Cheech and Chong of the A.T., to Matt and Angie, who planned
to get married on the trail when they reached Pennsylvania.
On the first day out, Estes and Morse met Chad, an easy going
guy in excellent shape who found himself tempted to walk
off the trail after just a few days. Hikers like Chad become
our eyes and ears on the six month journey to Maine’s
Mount Katahdin, more than 2000 miles from Springer Mountain
in Georgia. |
