Planned hiking journey to Seattle flopped- We're headed to AZ
« on: February 22, 2012, 07:26:20 AM »
Some background:

She and her deadbeat husband were asking how to walk from MO to WA on 200.00.

Short threads. 4 or 5 posts each.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9780330

After their failed trek, they end up in Springfield, MO.

After being in Springfield a few short months, somehow she manages to open a coffee shop. Keep in mind that they only had 200.00 to their name.

We have been talking to some other travelers and they say that US 60 is our best bet.

Just wanting to know if there is anything that we may need to watch out for.

Them trying to cross the Rockies in the Fall isn't much better than them crossing the AZ dessert in the Spring. That dessert gets cold at night. Snakes are looking for a warm place to sleep.

When they go on from TX, they should remember to ask for directions to the 'Jornada del meurto,' I hear that's a good route to Arizona.

They're not going anywhere.

Their attempted trek to WA got sidetracked when they put up some pup tent in the BFE region of Western Missouri and she couldn't get any free wifi.

16 to 20 days to cover about 1,200 miles WALKING?  I guess if you can walk 24 hours/day it could be done.
I think this particular DUmmie made the same mistake when she embarked on her first attempt.  She got walking directions from Google Maps and didn't realize that the time stated by Google is the total time WALKING.   :loser:

Not even, that'd be 60 miles a day, every day, for even the higher 20 day number.  If they can do that, they should be teaching their secret endurance techniques to the Rangers.  I think they include hitching in their plans, though, which would explain the timeline.

Holy shit.  :lmao:

From this it's 1277 miles.

http://www.travelmath.com/drive-distance/from/Tucson,+AZ/to/Springfield,+MO


That works out to approximately 64 miles per day for 20 days, 80 miles per day for 16 days. Yeah, good luck with all that DUmmie. Even if you walk 20, and ten, add 2, whatever that means, you're looking at 40 miles per day, walking. Uh huh. Can't wait to see this headline.

Let me get this straight:  They left Joplin, MO to walk to Washington State and ended up in Springfield, MO.  Now they want to walk to Arizona.

OK, my first suggestion to them is they face West this time.  At least that's a start.  These idiots are going to end up looking at the Mississippi River in a few weeks saying "Hey, what went wrong?"
