Crossing Water
For a European, I was quite suprised at the lack of bridges in America. To begin with I quite liked it, it's a bit of a novelty to getting your feet wet, but the novelty soon wore off... Anyhow, whenever you stop to cross a river it's a natural time to get the camcorder out, so I've ended up with hundreds of shots of us crossing various bodies of water.
Song used:
The music is the theme from Hawaii 5-0 by The Ventures.
MORE CDT STUFF FROM ME:
1. Read a day by day account of the whole trip on my blog (500 entries).
2. Check out Paul's Photos of the trip on his Flickr.
3. Download the route planner / overview map / rough schedule we used - blank or filled in with data.
4. Download Quicktime files of our documentary for fullscreen viewing:
PLANNING YOUR OWN HIKE:
1. You absolutely must get Jonathan Ley's maps.
2. This map of the CDT on Google Maps is very useful.
