Least Visited II - The Long Walk Home.

Over the past few months, since the world premiere of "Least Visited", scores of you have asked what our next adventure / movie will be. After much consideration, and inspiration from our friend Devon Doran (who I owe at least 3 phone calls), Coop and I have decided to engage in a bit of history with a throwback journey.

In early June Coop and I will undertake a 320 some odd journey from Washington, DC to Pittsburgh. Our hike will take us along the tow path of the C&O Canal from Georgetown to Cumberland, Maryland. In Cumberland we will pick the Great Allegheny Passage, a rails to trails trail connecting Cumberland to Pittsburgh. In addition to the challenge of this multi-day (20 to 30) hike, and camping along the trail, we traveling through many places that have impacted and shaped the history of our country. The most notable of which is probably Antietam, site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War.

Over the next few months we will fill you in on our preparation and some of the notable spots on the trail. In the meantime if you want more information on either the C&O Canal or the GAP you can visit their websites. The entire length of the canal is a national park and information can be found at, http://www.nps.gov/pohe/index.htm. For the GAP, information can be found at, http://www.gaptrail.org/.

We'll be tweeting, wailerwoo, and updating our facebook pages as well as proving links and updates here.

A note about Devon. A few years back he and his brother Darren rode the trail from Pittsburgh to Washington. Ever since I have had it on the back burner and when Coop said he was up for the challenge, it was on.

In the meantime we plan on getting our dog fix by heading up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to volunteer at a checkpoint for the UP200 sled dog race. We'll be in Munising, along the shores of Lake Superior. We will also get a chance to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Sort of our mini-adventure to get us ready for the big one in June. We'll have a few reports from up there as well.
