John Krohn began a walk along the perimeter of the United States with a wheelbarrow on June 1, 1908. The journey lasted 357 days, during which Krohn walked 9,024 miles. The long days on the road wore out 11 pairs of shoes, 112 pairs of socks, and 5 wheels for the wheelbarrow.
357 days actually doesn’t seem that bad considering how large the U.S. is. My question is: why a wheelbarrow? Whatever his reason, he certainly started a traveling-with-household-tool/appliance trend, what with Tony Hawks’ Round Ireland With A Fridge. I say it’s time to up the ante.
