OK, so Ed Stafford can walk the 4000 mile trek down the Amazon River, but he couldn't connect with me for our interview this morning! Considering he's in London and I'm in Napa it is a bit of a time difference. I was able to connect with Ed AFTER our live show and got to sit down with him to record our interview. I'll air that in a couple of weeks. You DEFINITELY need to hear for yourself how he was able to make it through the 859 day journey hacking his way through dense jungle, illegal cocaine processing plants, indigenous villages; navigating his way to the end using Goggle Earth.
Stafford began his epic walk in Camana, Peru on April 2, 2008. He was joined four months later by Gadiel "Cho" Sanchez Rivera in August 2008 and both completed their journey on August 9, 2010 - that's about 2-1/2 years of walking!! Ed became the first known person to walk the entire length of the 4000 mile Amazon River from its source in Peru, across Columbia and ultimately to the Atlantic shores of Brazil. It is the longest jungle expedition ever taken.
