font-family:Arial'>Hi, I just wanted to let you know about a new DVD that I’ve
produced, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Continental Divide Trail Diary:
Montana/Idaho.</span></b> It’s a video diary (meaning, in this
case, that the viewer gets a glimpse of what I experienced, both internally and
externally) covering 800 miles of trail between <st1:City w:st="on">Waterton
Lakes</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">National Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. Here’s some detailed
info:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Wilderness Film and Video Productions announces the release of a new DVD,
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Continental Divide Trail Diary: Montana/Idaho</span></b>.
The DVD took award-winning filmmaker Thomas (Tim) Hogeboom took ten years to complete.
[If you have Lynne Whelden’s How To Hike the CDT video, check out the
first section, “Crash and Burn” which is also the starting point
for <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>CDT Diary: MT/ID.</span></b> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'> Continental
Divide Trail Diary: Montana/Idaho </span></font></b>is a 76 minute video diary
of Hogeboom’s 800 mile trek from the Canadian border to <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">National Park</st1:PlaceType>
in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Wyoming</st1:State></st1:place>.
The film details Hogeboom’s hike along the Continental Divide Trail through
Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wilderness, the Anaconda
Pintler Wilderness, the Beaverhead Mountains, and all the way to Old Faithful
geyser in Yellowstone. Although Hogeboom intended to complete the trek in
nine weeks back in 1998, it took him eight years instead. Along the way, he got
lost multiple times, experienced grizzly and black bear encounters, a serious
tick disease, snow, plagues of flies and mosquitoes, the loss of a
parent, a hospitalization for dehydration, and the repercussions of world
events (9/11 in particular). One of Hogeboom’s hiking partners
suffered a trip-ending injury and another was bitten by a disease-carrying
tick. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> Luckily for the viewer, the backdrop for these
sobering and sometimes humorous events is the drop-dead gorgeous Continental
Divide through <st1:State w:st="on">Montana</st1:State> and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place>. Yes, it’s possible to
admire the Rockies from the comfort of a tour bus, but viewers of CDT Diary:
MT/ID get to see the spine of the divide from the point of view of a long
distance hiker – up close, and in this case, very personal. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> This is not just a tour of the Continental
Divide Trail, it’s the story of what happens to an aging hiker who
experiences both transcendental moments and life-altering events. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> It was shot in digital video and
produced as a DVD. Nearly all of the filming locations were far from any roads,
accessible only on foot (or horseback). Hogeboom walked the entire route,
an unbroken line of footsteps across <st1:State w:st="on">Montana</st1:State>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
