Beyond Our Boundaries: Episode 16
I find it somewhat curious how few comments this entire series has garnered here.

Maybe because you can also watch the videos (for a fee) on the toesalad.com website. I supported the kickstarter project to see them before I realized they would be available to me anyway as a BPL member. Oh well, it went to a good cause.
Definitely cool to see a family do something like this together.
The website is on episode 20 and BPL is 4 episodes behind.
I found a blog by the Kallin family on the AT much more interesting to me than these videos. Still, that said, it's pretty great for a family to get out there and have their kids learn about the environment around them.

>We know they all finished the hike.
Wrong.
My wife had to get off in Vermont due to a stress fracture in her ankle/foot. The rest of us made it though.
Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery.
Maximum kudos to two wonderful parents for taking the kids on the adventure of their lives. The lessons they will learn about each other, themselves, and their inherent abilities will serve them well in later life. The memories will last as long as they live.
