[pct-l] NPR - What Do You Pack For A Seven-Year Trip? (Devon Taig)

[Susan Alcorn]

I didn't hear the NPR broadcast, but it reminded me of a book I enjoyed that was 
written in 1988, The Longest Walk by George Meegan. Meegan walked from Patagonia 
to Prudoe Bay (Alaska). It was a seven year journey and 19,000 miles (he turned 
east to go through the U.S.). One of the more memorable things about his 
experience was that the people of each region would warn him about the horrible 
people ahead. Then, when he reached the next area, those people would warn him 
of the dangers ahead. 
Cheers,
