I saw the Japanese man with the shopping cart today! He was about half way between Jasper and Hinton. I got my photo taken with him too. I was very impressed, it hadn’t taken him that long to get as far as he did. His placard said he left Vancouver on 11 May, and today was the 20th so that amazing progress, and he was wearing flip flops too!
Just thought I’d update you on his progress!
He had made it halfway between Jasper and Hinton by May 21, as Elizabeth K reports.
