I have a copy and it's good. It gets the Saunterer recommendation. ;) BTW - 
I got my copy on Ebay where they show up with some regularity. In fact 
there are 3 copies available right now for $19.95 using "Buy It Now". Item 
# 6346634672 (1 copy) and 6344746330 (2 copies). They are listed as running 
85 minutes with the 'bonus' material.

Also available right now are "North to Katadhin" DVDs. Item # 6344862499 
and 6345915313, both up for bids, one ending in roughly a day and a half, 
the other in roughly 2 and a half. This one only runs 28 minutes but it is 
an "award winning" documentary. I haven't seen this one and have a hard 
time believing they could really cram the essence of a 2160 mile trail into 
28 minutes but then, I'm not a film-maker. Maybe they did. Anyone seen it?
