In an earlier post I mentioned my hiking habit. The title was "In Praise of Mountain Hiking". Well, my group is called "The Heartbreak Hiking Fools" after one of our least favorite and most pain-inducing hikes on Heartbreak Trail.
Today we hiked Lang Ranch trail, aka Phelan's Pholly (after Des Phelan who found the trail first).
Yesterday I bought a new FlipVideo camera and took it along today to capture the trail, the level of exertion and the group.
Here is the video, with 16 short pieces strung together without transitions. You'll notice the abrupt changes in scenery.
The entire hike to the top took me 36 minutes and 23 seconds but the video is only about 7 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it.
Read my earlier blogpost if you want to form your own hiking/biking/exercise group. It has many good ideas for how you can create a group that requires very little maintenance yet lots of fun.
