PBS Show: Walking the Great Divide and websites on the CDT

Just finished watching around 2 hours on Channel 58.1 KLCS (http://www.klcs.org/) which is a local PBS station here in Southern California. Today it was from 2 PM to 4 PM. If you missed it, they will be showing it again (not sure which parts, not clear on website or on-line schedules) on Tuesday night, 7/28/09 at 9 PM and 8/1/09 at 2 AM!

It's a fascinating documentary following an approximately 6 month journey from the Mexican border through 3,100 miles of trails and ending at the Canadian border. There's also a "tri-continental" divide where from one point, the water flows to the Arctic, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans.

You can purchase the expanded 2-disc DVD version from Flagler Films (http://www.flaglerfilms.com/).

Not sure if I have the stamina, energy, and time to do it all in one stretch. I might consider doing it in bits and pieces. The people he interviewed (most are fellow CDT hikers) all report the same things, mind over body, pain, etc.
