Cool. I read A Walk across America, in serial form (2 parts) in the National Geographic magazine, long ago. It was great, and the first time I heard of the concept of such a long journey on foot, although I knew about people driving across America. It was fairly common in those days when gas was much cheaper. Some of my older relatives settled in the US had done it too, and used to tell us kids about it. A couple of points I remember are him guzzling a liter or more of soft drinks at a stop after a long walk on a hot summer day, and his stay with and warm welcome by an African American family. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Walk_Across_America https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Walk_Across_America https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jenkins_(travel_author) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jenkins_(travel_author...
