An Appalachian Tale | 2005 Appalachian Trail Thru Hike Documentary

Publicado 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.

  • I did a week of backcountry hiking on the AT, but only inside of the Smoky Mountains National Park, and did that two years in a row 2002 and 2003. I need to get back out on the trail.

    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.

    So cool this vid found me. I started at Springer 4/22/05. I remember hearing about some of the characters hiking ahead via grapevine and shelter registers. Def the best thing I’ve ever done. Finished on 10/6/05, and found it really hard to readjust to normal life… Thanks for documenting your hike.

    Thanks for taking the time to film and putting it on YouTube where we can all enjoy it. Doesn’t look like much is changed other than the tech. Gramps AT21.
