On this hike down abandoned train tracks, which are being converted into a brand-new trail, I captured over 12 hours of footage and 8000 photos. So this quick clip is just barely a teaser of a story I can’t WAIT to share. Multiple video projects will spawn from this. I will be doing a full-length “film” of the entire adventure. I would also like to create a series of shorter videos, which go more in-depth into all the very different areas the trail passes through. After that will be videos focused on key aspects, such as all the old (and new) train depots along the route. Thanks for watching! Joel Hartzell

This is the first of many videos to come from this adventure on a highway of the past. This was a life-changing month of my life, and I have much, much more to say and show about this beautiful forgotten corner of the Emerald Triangle in remote deep northern California.
