Title: Planned hiking journey to Seattle flopped- We're headed to AZ
Post by: Tucker 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.

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.

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?"

The average person's walking speed is between two and three miles an hour. Top walking speed is about 5 MPH.

So - let's give the primitives the benefit of the doubt, and assume they are championship walkers, and they can hit and maintain 5MPH indefinitely.

The trip will take them 255 hours and 20ish minutes.  In other words, it will take them better than 10 1/2 days to make the trek, if they move nonstop & at top human walking speed.

BTW, the average person walks half of that - 2.5 MPH - So, at 24 hours of walking a day nonstop at 2.5MPH, their 20 day journey will take them about 22 days.

Scoring a bunch of meth is the only way they are going to make that journey by their self-imposed deadline.. Assuming their tiny little hearts don't explode before then.

Maybe they have a few bottles of Jimmy Tango's Fatbusters ??

I have the pleasure of calling the gentleman that wrote this story about his experience a friend. They averaged 20 miles a day on horseback. There is no way a DUmmy is going to do 10.
But the difference between David and this DUmmy is they didn't go around demanding things from people. They politely asked and people were more than happy to take them and their three horses in. David and his brother are better people for having made that journey and they look back on it as one of the best times of their lives (it trumped winning a gold medal for him).

For their website they've reached Leucadia, CA.  They covered a whopping 28 miles in only 4 days.

Only 3,000 miles and about 428 days to go.  Of course them pesky mountains and Mohave desert may delay them for a year or two.  :rotf:

At least it'll get them the Hell out of my state.

Heck, it will get them out of my city!

That coffee shop is right down the street from the homeless shelter here in Springfield (Missouri Hotel), which is probably why that was 'their' coffee shop-  it was close to the homeless shelter, and they are lazy primitives. 

My first bet  on why they are leaving is that it has something to do with this:

And was compounded by this:

Maybe I should go asking around at the Missouri Hotel and Big Momma's if they've had two scruffy drifters mysteriously disappear recently?
