That is a cool ass fact tho. Whats the most dangerous part of that walk from a natural environment perspective? Whats the most dangerous part from a state of the world perspective?

Jerboa is good but having done no others yet, I cant recommend one way or another. I cannot see the picture while typing this, will I be able to read the origin and destination and pull this up for myself when I go back to look at the OP? Do we know if this is the longest possible mapped walking route, or just the points fartest apart on the map from a satellite perspective? Gosh hows that compare to the longest possible drive?

They say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at something. You'd have to walk this road about 2 and a half times just to become an expert at walking.

This is the road our grandparents used to walk to get to school if the stories they tell are true...

I believe that goes through the Road of Bones in Siberia. From what I saw of Long Way Round (where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ride around the world on motorcycles), it's not really a road much of the year. You wouldn't want to walk it in the winter for obvious reasons. You also wouldn't want to walk it in the warmer seasons, because the snow melts and floods the road.

It's only a road in the sense that Google Maps marks it as one.

The documentary simply couldn't continue on the planned route, and they hucked it over to Alaska early on. That was after putting up with some shit ass mud in and around Mongolia where they were dropping their bikes every 10 feet (and I am not exaggerating).

This would take over 187 days if you didn't have to stop to sleep.

There is a white couple somewhere ready to tackle this.

Fun fact: If you were able to cross the Bering Straight then the only thing that would keep this road from reaching Argentina would be the Darien Gap, a stretch of dense rainforest that separates Panama from Colombia. Unfortunately it's one of the most inhospitable places on Earth!
