Does anyone remember who it was?</font>
Yes. It was The Walrus - Craig Stadler.

I knocked off Delaware by flying into Wilmington (ILG) from Dulles. It was a very short flight aboard a 737-200. From Wilmington, I took a bus to Detroit and flew DTW-ORD-CRW (Charleston, W.V.)
As for a trip report, I could definitely write one but some of the finer details would be a tad hazy.
Joven, did you ever post a trip report from your Latin Pass adventure? I'd love to read that! I could write some great trip reports though from years past, like the afternoon I started out planning only to hitch-hike from Lune River to Hobart in Tasmania. By the time the day was over, I'd flown up to Melbourne aboard an Air NSW F28 and over the next three days kept going via AN 767, a city bus, and finally the QRR trains "The Capricornian" and "Sunlander" and the local worker's train all the way up to Kuranda, up in the hills above Cairnes. And I thought I was only gonna hitch up to Hobart...
Once I was in Chile for a couple of months to go backpacking but there was a late spring snow in the Andes so I found a cheap deal up to Miami on a 4 stop Lloyd Boliviano 727, took a train to SEA, flew to DEN, caught two Dead concerts, hitched to Gallup, N.M. and barely caught the train to LAX and back to MIA, then returned to Chile for my bus to PMC and boat down to Puerto Natales and on and on.... All because there was too much snow... All true. I travel alone. And I'm impulsive. Weird but fun stuff has happened as a result. I've got all this stuff in a journal but for this site... well, I've probably overstepped my bounds already by saying this much.
The Editor of Airliners Magazine once approached me about doing the 50 State Marathon story so one of these months you might see it there.
But enough of me! This thread's about early mileage runs
