An Appalachian Tale | 2005 Appalachian Trail Thru Hike Documentary

Published 2024-06-27
This is my friends movie. He’s given me permission to post it.

This is a film by Dave Hauver, AKA Papa Razzi, documenting his 2005 thru hike from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail. Kudos to Papa for making this awesome memento of our hike while carrying a huge (by today’s standards) camera in an age before YouTube, before GoPros, heck even before smartphones. I met him a few days in and we ended up hiking a good amount of the trail together (I’m Professor nutbag). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    Thank you for this gift. I am a 57 year-old man that can’t wait to be on the trail. I’m just a few years away and I’ll be making my way up to Springer Mountain. Peace.
