David Gray's video: Three Lakes Trail Indiana Backpacking - June 2017

View and purchase all my photos at: https://davidcgray.smugmug.com/ Check out my website at davidgraymedia.com (Book-length trip reports of most of my 'big' hikes, stories, reviews of my favorite places I've stayed and eaten, and gear reviews. There are many unlisted Youtube videos embedded within the articles). This video covers a 'day hike', training hike that I did on the Three Lakes Trail in Morgan-Monroe State Forest near Martinsville, Indiana. The hike was actually done over two days. I call it a 'backpacking' trip because I did carry my full backpack for the entire hike, though backcountry camping is not allowed on the Three Lakes Trail I originally planned to publish this hike as part of a 'Hiking Indiana' series I planned to do which would cover many of the great non-backpacking trails that Indiana has to offer. In the end I never completed any more videos in that series, and didn't end up publishing the Three Lakes video. But I do think it's an interesting video because I did a ton of 'walk through' shots that makes it almost feel like there was a separate film crew along with me in spots (there wasn't!). Also, I used a wireless microphone for many shots which adds some 'color' as well. Hiking in Indiana is never going to compare with hikes in the mountains out west, but for anyone interested in hiking the Three Lakes Trail, or for anyone interested in 'tagging along' with me, I think you'll find it an entertaining video. And it was also a hike with both my Labs, Jaden and Bailey, so that's always fun!
