Movie Review: Wayfaring – A Jaunt Along the Camino de Santiago

August 31, 2014 By Jeff H 1 Comment

The Camino de Santiago is a long trail that beings in France, and travels roughly 500 miles west to Santiago, Spain. The trail began centuries ago as a religious pilgrimage, but has evolved to be a journey that means different things to different people.

Movie Review: Flip Flop Flippin’

May 8, 2013 By Jeff H 7 Comments

Long trails have a gravity that pulls thru-hikers toward them with irresistible force. I’ve answered the call of the John Muir Trail — twice.
