Two Seas, Two Feet: My Hike Across the Continent http://www.c2c-route.org/
On August 6, 2004 I set out from Quebec's Cape Gaspe in Forillon National Park to become the first person ever to hike the entire 7,700-mile Sea-to-Sea Route (C2C), which is a network of existing long-distance hiking trails that span almost continuously between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with the exception of a 700-mile gap in North Dakota and Montana along the Missouri River and a less formidable 30-mile gap in Vermont. I hope to arrive at the C2C's western terminus, Cape Alava in Washington's Olympic National Park, by August 2005. My objectives in hiking the C2C are to establish a transcontinental pathway for adventurous hikers, to increase awareness of long- distance hiking trails, and to inspire others to set high goals and tough challenges for themselves. I am also motivated by the opportunity for a lifetime experience and by the unprecedented challenge (for me) of this hike.
