Chris Estes, Documentary about hiking

In the movie we watched today it was about a bunch of guys hiking on the trail, and their journey along the way. One guy had a feeling that is shown here, "It's been hard, nothing I can't do everyday, it's better than going to work" (didn't catch name). It was funny to hear this because a lot of people don't know how it feels to leave work and do something you've always wanted to do. So, what would be the point in leaving work to hike this sacred trail? Many of the hikers said these sights and the feelings that they were feeling was the best thing that has happened to them in a while. One interesting thing was seeing the random wildlife that was on the trail. They saw many things like snakes, lizards, deer, and bear. One of the hikers got very close to a deer and thought it was one of the most spectacular things in the world. One of the children showed a bite mark that one of the snakes left on her. Many bears were seen in the state of New Jersey. A wife and her husband were interviewed and he said that they met on the trail, and now are hiking the trail again. There was a man that sang about himself being the AT, and that all these hikers were hiking on me. That was interesting to see that they thought about the trail as such a sacred place to sing, and respect it. Some of the passages they walked through or bridges were very unique, which was a very cool to see. The movie was very interesting and kept me interested to see the next step in their journey.
