That should cover it. I might come back later and edit the list.

I plain to travel across the middle to lower states i.e. North Carolina, Tennessee, Northern Arkansas, Oklahoma, Northern New Mexico, Northern Arizona, and out by Los Angeles.

Time 2 years

Is it possible? Yes.

Could a modern day person be successful in the trip? Doubtful, it would take a very hardened and lucky individual to be successful in the trip. It be would an incredibly difficult journey to be done solo.

Oh, BTW when I told my wife about the scenario. She said she would take her phone, Ipod, debit card, and camera.......
