This story is one of my favorite inspirational hiking stories. Robert hiked 1,506 miles in just 49 days! 

Here's the brief story about Robert who wanted to move to Seattle, Washington from Ouray, Colorado due to his frustration with the job. He has a seizure that restricts him from driving. He had too much stuff that cannot fit it onto a Greyhound bus. He didn't have money enough for flying with baggage fees. 

The solution he found was go hiking with his stroller that has 3 big wheels with his stuff weight over 125 pounds. It took him 47 days by hiking through Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and then Washington for 1,506 miles!
