TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | Man Walks The Amazon: Did you know? | | On April 2nd (that’s today!), 2008, the British ex-soldier, Ed Stafford, set forth from southern Peru to walk the length of the Amazon River to its mouth in Brazil. During his 28-month jungle trek, Stafford dodged pit vipers, electric eels, anacondas, and scorpions. He ate piranhas, beans, and rice. Bow-wielding natives imprisoned him twice on the suspicion of murder. None of that stopped him. But after 4,000 miles, Stafford collapsed from exhaustion nearly 50 miles from his final destination. He broke out into a full body rash and began itching himself compulsively. Many thought his trek was over, but Stafford proved them all wrong when he regrouped and finished the expedition to become the first person to ever walk the length of the Amazon. | | |
