Vince and Monica set out with their four children, ranging in age from 11 to 16, on the walk of a lifetime . Like any family adventure, it would be filled with squabbles and fun. An experience compounded all the more by mosquitoes, and bears, and blisters, and plantar fasciitis, and dirt, and miscalculation of miles, and time, so much time.

Join the family as they traverse the United States from the top to the bottom, and listen in as they sort out what it means to be a family in pursuit of a goal that seemed unattainable.
