I love this clip, thanks for sharing. I show all my friends, I want to do the same thing (in a different location) I am thinking of leaving next Sept, if the economy hasn't already forced me to the woods :-) Cheers and thanks again

Good luck. I'm going to be living out of a backpack, hitching through Canada next year. I was thinking of visiting Twin Lakes for a week or two.
