In 2002, NHK, Japan’s equivalent of America’s PBS, made a 90 minute documentary, “The Way of Wind, Forest, and History: the Appalachian Trail” NHK-BS2 10/9/02). It began in Concord, Mass at Walden Pond, to sample
some of Thoreau’s discoveries before climbing Mt. Washington and Mt. Katahdin, and interviewing thru-hikers and section hikers along the way. This year, the crew is returning and wants to meet a few more hikers, focusing more on personal life transitions and what the AT experience means in that context. The context of the post-9/11 world is especially challenging for many of us and the Japanese want to know what the AT experience has to teach us. Please contact me at 706 265-5502 or joe@worldclass.net, if you wouldn’t mind sharing with the world your story and the lessons you have learned on the trail.

“I am totally confident not that the world will get better, but that we should not give up the game before all the cards have been played. The metaphor is deliberate; life is a gamble. Not to play is to foreclose any chance of winning. To play, to act, is to create at least a possibility of changing the world.”

Have you gotten a mate for your life-size blow-up Britney Spears doll?

Seriously, I enjoyed reading your post.

Just an update on the documentary.
The Japanese crew would now like to interview section hikers
who, over the years, have accumulated stories
and reflections on the changing times since 9/11.
Especially section hikers who will be completing a section
hike this year and would like to share with us their
reflections on the impact of their section hikes on their
family, career, worldview, etc. Does anyone know any
Iraq war veteran section hikers? Any family section hikers?
Any other interesting, busy people who make a section hike an annual event?
