Running Across North America (... sort of) :-)
 

A friend of mine and I just did a road trip across North America and had a fantastic time, meeting wonderful people and seeing amazing places. We highly recommend doing this. The United States is an amazingly beautiful country. We made a little funny video about our trip. I hope you enjoy it:

Excellent!!! Who was your cameraman?

We either asked random well-intentioned tourists or locals to film us, or we just found a way to place the camera on the road, sidewalk or whatever we found. :-)

Awww - you guys are so cute. Thanks.

Whoops, you dropped something at the entrance to the Grand Canyon. Now you gotta go back! Great way to record a trip. Enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing.

Very clever and well done - I enjoyed it!

Where are you from? What was your favorite place?

I LOVE this video! It is my new favorite travel video. This took a lot of work and planning and editing. It is wonderful. A little like Forest Gump and his friend.

a few ?s:

The one in back dropped something at the Grand Canyon. What was it you dropped and did you go back to retrieve it?

Did you run up Angels Landing? That would be quite a feat. And I noticed that it is hard to run through the Narrows!

How long in time was your trip? How long did it take to plan it?

I LOVE the Boston T shirt at the end, nice touch along w/the Atlantic to the Pacific theme.

Kudos!!!

Opps, that =D? should be another =D>

Just wonderful, thanks for sharing. Watched it from beginning to end :)!

If I was you I'd enter this in some contest...

Wow! This is awesome. Thank you for watching the video and for the very encouraging response.

By the way, my friend dropped his camera in the shot where we are entering the Grand Canyon, but we did get it back :-) (he were tempted to re-do the video but it seemed more fun with the bit about dropping the camera in it) Or maybe we were setting up a sequel... ;-) (just kidding)

And yes, we were certainly inspired by Forest Gump and also by Matt (the guy who dances in front of landmarks around the world).

We didn't run up to Angel's Landing. It's too dangerous. You have to climb up holding on to chains. :-) My friend did go all the way to the very end. I just went up to the platform shown in the video. What a wonderful place!

I personally loved Zion and Arches the most, but it's a difficult choice. It's a very beautiful country!

Thank you for watching. Please tell people about it. It did take a lot of work to put it together, so it's really fun when people watch it and leave comments. :-)

Enjoy your travels and have a wonderful week!

I just sent the link to my son at Boston Universtiy, so this video will be making the rounds of the colleges in Boston soon...

The one thing I wondered was how you did the boat shots in the beginning.... Where are you guys from? I'd imagined somewhere Latin America...but was curious... Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed North America! I've been coast-to-coast and have found the landscapes equally inspiring (although by train (a few routes), not by running). Going to Zion with my family is an incredible memory from my teenage years!

All the best, Daniel

Great job, glad you enjoyed your trip. It really is a beautiful country, Thanks.

Great video - I loved it!

Wonderful video -- I really enjoyed it!!

What a great video! Thanks for sharing.
