Jinshanling-Simatai Great Wall hike

I came across this video I made several years ago capturing the wild Wall hike I always loved to do. This time, I completed it with Jacob, then 10 or 11, my nephew Jesse, about 16, and a visiting friend Nico, 14. It was scorching hot and this is not an easy hike, but what Jacob made it almost all the way without whining. It was a very fun and memorable day.

Another plus, for me, is this is an early version of the Woodie Alan song, “Got Love if You Want it.” We re-recorded it on for the CD at a much faster tempo  and I think I actually like this version better. Well, except for my vocals…
