Al Slusser walked out of the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, Calif., and kept going.
Last week, he pulled his homemade support vehicle, a 140-pound, three-wheeled cart, into Meadowview, near the beginning of his ninth state in less than a year. The 71-year-old Arizona man said he’s in the best shape of his life and though he’s been laughed at, called a fool, trudged through wind, snow, rain and hail, worn out three pairs of shoes and seen temperatures soar above a hundred and plunge below freezing, he’s not once thought of calling it quits. He made his decision to go for it last July and never looked back.
“I’m going to make it,” he said. “I can do this.”
