Taking a page from Steve Vaught and his thefatmanwalking.com site, Gary Long is trying to lose weight by walking across the country and is documenting his quest with afatmansjourney.com.
Long once weighed about 380 pounds and lost about 80 pounds walking from St. Louis to New York City. Now he’s in Southern California, preparing to walk mostly on Route 66 back to St. Louis. He wants to get down to 175 pounds.
Hi,
We talked to you and your doctor when you were on your way to Laughlin,Nv. You gave us your card, and we also saw you, still on your way when we came back by about 4 hours later.
We admire your efforts and wish you good luck in your journey.
