Soapbox's PCT (beard growing) timelapse

I took all these pictures of myself while I hiked and I needed to do something with them so I made a video. The trail takes its toll on a body and you can definitely see a change in through hikers as they travel north. 

Watch the beard grow!

CANADA!!!

It's official. It's real. We made it to Canada! We reached the Canadian border in the afternoon of September 8th with Mongo, a fellow St. Louisan thru-hiker, and Ms. Frizzle.

We are thru-hikers. We met friends, had incredible experiences, and walked to and from many places... This trip may have started in Mexico, but I don't think Canada is the end. 

We still have so much amazing material to share, so keep checking back for more. Right now we are just trying to make our way to a place where there are beds (back to St. Louis for Pedi and Soapbox).

A quote written in the trail register stored in the obelisk that hit home:

"Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."

-Walt Whitman

Ascent of Mt. Whitney: The Movie

We came. We saw. We conquered. Sort of...

I've been keepin myself busy. Writing. Photos. But I'm trying something new, more to come (iPhone video editing may not be the easiest thing).  Check it:

Stay frosty,
