Coddiwomple II
A Pacific Crest Trail Documentary
In July 2022, Grizz and Flash returned to complete the 650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail they missed in 2022 due to smoke and fires. Joined by their son, Blisters, and husky, Burn, the team started at Cascades Locks, Oregon, and headed south. They encountered extreme heat, massive blowdowns, long stretches of lava, and difficult waterless stretches. They pushed on even after Blisters developed huge blisters, and Flash twisted her ankle while navigating through a blowdown section.
By the time they hit Crater Lake, Blisters returned to school, and a short time later, Flash left the trail due to heat and supported Grizz with a van they had purchased. This documentary gives an intimate look at the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) through Oregon, country often skimmed through by many PCT documentaries. It completes their adventures documented in the 2022 production “A Pacific Crest Trail Coddiwomple.”
Making these documentaries has been a labor of love for Grizz. Along the trail in 2022, he decided he would pursue his love of videography and story-telling regardless of the obstacles ahead. His first production became a success, and garnered hundreds of positive comments, some claiming his story inspired them to attempt the trek themselves. Grizz’s goal is to inspire older folks, or those who face health-related obstacles to consider taking a chance on a grand adventure.
