If you've read much about this sort of looniness, your first question will be, "But what about the Darien Gap?" Yes. He even walked through the Darien Gap. (tl;dr basically a swampy no-man's land where they've never been able to build a road to connect Panama and Colombia, ruled by poisonous critters and guerillas, that people typically skip and still say they've walked or driven the Americas - and that's really not an exaggeration.) My favorite line in the article: regarding this hike, people "usually don't finish because they fall in love." Read the story at Outside Magazine for more. And while you're at it, subscribe to Outside! I have no personal interest but damn do they cover some interesting stories.
