Say LK, did you ever release the final video of that hike? I was at your showing of the rough edit in Damascus for TD '09. I'd like to see the finished work if it is available.
If it is, what's the title so I can look it up?

Well..since the folks who are nice enough to volunteer with sweat equity to make the ADT a reality think so, I'm gonna say yes!

Nov. 5, 2008 - Mike Daniel, the "Lion King", finished his hike today! Read his journal at http://www.walkingwithfreedom.com. Read his press release Mike Daniels Press Release.
I am gonna take their opinion over some guy who is thinking about doing this journey.
The future of trails (and the present for most trails) is a corridor approach. Unless there is no trail at all like the route I did most of this weekend...

I recently had this discussion w/ an old whiteblazing friend who thinks if you walk all the way from Ga. to Me. and cover 2172 miles instead of 2175 then you are pretty much a lair and a cheat and therefore disqualified from saying you are a thruhiker.
Having passed every white blaze on 2 thrus and a few blues on 2 others I can honestly say (w/ experience) thats the thinking of an elitist w/ a huge ego. (read: WD types)
There is a difference between yellow and blue- riding and walking. If you think walking this way instead of that way makes you superior, well, I'm sorry about your childhood.
Where I do draw the line is if you are out to set a speed record and blue blaze, "making history" by cutting off and/or trading trail miles for road miles.
Which route did you take for the Mid-West? Iowa or Missouri.

You are amazing, Lion King! I wish I could walk as much as you.
Some knew me as Piper, others as just Diane.
I hiked the PCT: Mexico to Mt. Shasta, 2008. Santa Barbara to Canada, 2009.
He took both. He made it to where the trail splits and he took the northern route to Denver, then took the southern route, and finally went from Denver west to San Francisco. You can check out episode 1 of his videos on youtube and it will give you an even better idea.

I'm a huge Lion King fan-- I have three of his hiking DVD's now and I find him really inspiring. I'm glad to be his friend on facebook and to hear what he's up to. A cool guy and a REAL thru-hiker.

I'd love to do something like this sometime. Question for you LK: I've been watching your videos on Youtube and I'm wondering what model that nifty little tent is you have.

That's so amazing. How much of the ADT is pure roadwalking?
This thread is so old, that for a minute, I thought he did it again!!!
.....Someday, like many others who joined WB in the early years, I may dry up and dissapear....
HA! funny
Ive hiked about 3000 miles since finishing the ADT, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less...not sure really.
the majority of the AT once with WHAT? and the shennies 2X. a bit in PA three times, 100 or so to trail days twice...now Im in CA and hiking as much as I can.
still not enough
If you've got any more copies of the ADT DVD I'll buy one. Just let me know how much and where to send it.
