font-family:Arial'>For those unfamiliar with Andy, he recently completed the
“Great Western Loop,” a 6,875 mile trek in 208 days.
He’s the first person to ever accomplish this feat, but that’s no
surprise, <font color="#000033"><span style='color:#000033'>in July 2005 he
concluded another monumental first: hiking the <u1:Street u2:st="on"><u1:address u2:st="on"><st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">7,778-mile Sea-to-Sea Route</u1:address></u1:Street></st1:address></st1:Street>,
a transcontinental network of hiking trails from <u1:State u2:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Quebec</u1:State></st1:State> to <u1:State u2:st="on"><u1:place u2:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</u1:place></u1:State></st1:place></st1:State>,
which he completed in 11 months. Andy has also completed the 1,700-mile
California section of the Pacific Crest Trail (in 44 days), the 480-mile
Colorado Trail (twice), the 2,170-mile Appalachian Trail (in 95 days), and a
385-mile trek through northern Minne sota in January.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></font></p>
