I found this amazing story in a book I am reading called “How to Live a Life of Adventure: The Arte of Exploring the World.” The author of this book (Frosty Wooldridge) met this man (Bob Wieland) as Frosty was on a quest to bicycle across America. Bob was at his 980th mile mark when they met.
This was Frosty’s reaction to the news that Bob had finished his 3,400 mile quest:
“I sat at the breakfast table crying like a baby because that man had given me the courage to face my own struggles in that one meeting in the New Mexico desert. I’m sure he touched thousands more on his remarkable journey across America. Here’s to you, Bob Wieland, to your courage, your humor, your passion and your life.”
