400 lb Man Walks Across USA

[OneFinger]

At 400 Pounds, a Californian Set Off for New York. In Arizona, He's at 350.

 

This week, his 13th on the road, has been the hardest thus far for Steve Vaught, a 400-pound man trying to walk across America.

 

On Sunday morning, he found a creek just as the desert heat forced a midday break. But when he woke from a nap and tried to fill his water bottles, the stream had already gone dry. Late that night, he walked right past his scheduled motel stop in Truxton, a flyspeck on historic Route 66 so slight it vanished when the sun went down...

Interesting story about a man starting to take control over his life.
