This is a link to a journal a couple wrote on a trip through Africa. Crazy they were not kidnapped or killed. Really good read though.

Back in ‘09 I swam across the great river of tickfaw with a belly full of worm buckets and swamp burger weighing me down. No one was impressed and I almost died.

I rode my bike across South Korea. I did Ride The Rockies. I plan on doing a 750 mile hike in Japan ( Shikoku Henro) in seven years if I’m still alive.

I know a guy that is currently on a trip that has already included kayaking the Mississippi River from source to sea, kayaking the Intracoastal Canal from NOLA to Texas, taking a sailboat from Texas The Yucatán, and he is now Biking to the tip of South America. He is currently biking through Panama.
Oh, and then he is coming back the same route!

Pretty surprised he was able to ride his bike through the Darien Gap.
He probably just jumped it.

I went to the Baton Rouge Zoo last year and I spent a summer selling door to door around Wichita when the BTK killer was in full force.

I was in an accounting class at Nicholl’s the morning of the accident. When we got the word i understood why the girl from Destrehan that sat in front of me was not in class.

I’ve had Hezbollah point their guns in my face. Same with the Israelis and Jordanians.
I spent somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 hours detained at the Palestinian border crossing.
Got stripped to my underwear and felt up for explosives by Israeli TSA ... two separate times in one trip.
Was also detained and interrogated by U.S. Marshals for an hour or two at IAH after coming back from the summer trip where I experienced all the above.
That’s kind of adventurous I guess.

Father-in-law made the trek from Louisiana to Alaska and back. Hit up all the states he had never been to.
Very good friend of mine went on a 3-week trip to Hawaii. I had been invited to go but didn’t have the $ and couldn’t miss work. He was calling me multiple times a day (and night) telling me how awesome it was and sending me pics of all the poon he was slaying. Day before he was scheduled to come back, he decided to go cliff-diving at a dangerous spot called Spitting Caves. Being an excellent swimmer, he had no fear and made the plunge. Was caught in the undercurrent and drowned.
RIP SJL

What an amazing read so far (only on page 7)
Thanks for sharing. This couple is nuts!!

It was getting late already and we were not sure if we would make it to Kananga today. The first village we encountered seemed deserted at first, but as soon as we entered the village we saw people coming at us from all sides. They had machetes and sticks and were shouting. "Des Blancs. Argent!" - "White people. Money!". They were all over the place. This was not good! I floored it and sped out of the village. A rock hit the back of our car.
We passed another village, and once again a mob formed as soon as they heard us coming. Machetes flying round, racist slogans shanted. Once again we did not give them the chance to get near us and blasted out of the village. They tried following us. This was turning ugly, if we would get stuck here we would be in big trouble, these people did not want a chat!

Most adventurous thing someone I know has done was took a month off and did the Appalachian Trail.
You mean that someone did a section of the trail?
They didn't do all of it in 1 month.

My former boss was a world traveler. She never married and had no kids. She had these adventure friends all over the world and they traveled to exotic locales.
2 years ago she hiked the Son Doong Cave in Vietnam. It is only open to 500 to 600 people a year. It is open for a limited time each year due to flooding. She retired last year and she works for Team Rubicon at disaster areas throughout the world.

I know someone who, in the late '60s,rode his motorbike across the Southern border and rode all the way to the Southern tip of South America in Chile.
There is no road that goes all the way from here to Chile. The Pan American Hwy. stops in Panama then continues on the other side of Darien.

Thought there were no roads through the border area of Panama.
The Darien.

Why is there no road through the Darien Gap?
Building a road through the Darien Gap has been discussed for over 100 years, but the mountains and swampland in the region make road-building expensive. Rumor has it that Colombia wants to invest over $600 million into a road that will basically dead end at the Colombian border, but Panama is against the idea. The fear is that it will aid drug traffickers and illegal immigrants, impact indigenous communities and degrade the environment. Besides, rebels and smugglers along the border would make the effort even more perilous.
So with swamps and no road, you need a different option.

I just called him and asked him how he crossed the Darien. He said that he caught a ride to Columbia on a tuna fishing boat.
