Today we began to look at a variety of the world's longest roads. The Pan American Highway which begins in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and stretches all the way down to Ushuaia, Argentina covers 13,000,000 miles! The longest walking distance possible is a route that requires no flights, boats or other water crossings: just open roads and bridges. The route takes the traveler up through Africa, past the Suez Canal, through Turkey, Central Asia and across all of Russia to Magadan and the coast of the Sea of Okhosk! The journey would take 4,492 hours to walk, meaning 187 days if a person were to walk non-stop. If we assumed a walking pace of 8-hours per day (no rest days!), the journey would actually take 562 days. Sights along the way may include: Table Mtn., S. Africa, safaris in Botswana, the pyramids & Sphinx in Egypt, Petra in Jordan, Lake Van, Turkey, Tbilisi, Georgia, the expansive central area of Russia.
