History's Longest Swim EVER (1-1-2010)

Swimming? I thought this was a hiking blog!

When I came across this news story, I had to pass it on.

Martin Strel, back in 2007, swam the ENTIRE length of the Amazon river. A whopping 3,375 miles in 66 days!

You can read excerpts from his weekly diary reports during the historic swim HERE.

Martin was asked many times why he wanted to do something crazy like swim the Amazon. His response: "I want to prove to myself that I can achieve more than others, to conquer the impossible. I want to do something that no one else has ever done".

Will you conquer the impossible in 2010? I hope so...
