    Have you undertaken a hike yourself anytime in life
-Well, I certainly hope the answer for everyone reading this is "yes."

The best "hike" or "journey" that I ever went on was my trek to Machu picchu:

I would highly recommend reading post about AnSionnachRua's "Mayo Walk." Also, you might want to check out #tripreport as there are a number of posts there that may satiate your desire for trek info.

As for Paul Salopek's "epic adventure," -Sounds like a hell of an adventure. I'm not sure about it's anthropological merit, but I guarantee it will make for a hell of a story.
