Twenty-four-year-old hiker Andrew Skurka, the first person to walk the 7,778 .miles nonstop across the North American continent, will visit Western to share his journey's experiences and to present a slideshow of the landscapes he encountered.

"It is an incredible tale of passion, goal-setting and kind people," Skurka said. "I want to expose people to the outdoors and inspire them to just get out there." After graduating from Duke University in 2003, Skurka said it was the perfect time to pursue hiking across the continent because he didn't have any commitments that were holding him back. "I wanted the challenge and the experience of going through beautiful country and meeting new people," Skurka said. On Aug. 6, 2004, Skurka departed from Cape Gaspe, Quebec on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and headed for Cape Alava, Wash, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. He left with only a 10-pound backpack containing a tarp for shelter, food and water. He said his lightweight pack was key to his success because it allowed him to walk an PHOTO COURTESY OF ANDREW SKURKA average of 36 miles per day.
