Check out the below video taken on the trails of Oak Hill. I was on my way to the top, though I was only going to go about 15 minutes into the woods on this path.

It was a lovely Friday August afternoon and I decided to go out into the woods to do some video shooting instead of doing it inside.  I grabbed my backpack and put my tripod in it and my note book (and nothing else, no food, no water)  I wasn’t going to go very far as my intent was to just find a hiking trail and walk in about 15 minutes to get away from the noise of the street. Well about an hour and half later I’m on top of Oak Hill up on the fire tower LOL.

8, 14, 2015 hike up Oak Hill to shoot video

Oh and for an added bonus   🙂   what I didn’t realize was that my sneakers were worn out, so about the last 20 minutes of the hike my feet were in so much pain and I was in a rush as the sun was setting but I couldn’t rush.   The entire trip down the mountain was painful as I had stubbed my big toe at the top of the hill.  I was hot and thirsty and it was muggy out but it felt great to be out in the woods hiking up to the top and then up the fire tower.  Oh and  I was also very excited as I found that i’m in much better shape than I was in the spring.

Note to self: water, good shoes and snacks when going out into the woods lol   🙂   🙂
