Indiana native Bri ary Stark seeks first foot crossing of American Discovery Trail
Bri ary Stark, 26, began March 8 in Cape Henlopen State Park Del., aiming to become the first person to traverse the 4 678 mile American Discovery Trail on foot. He travels through 15 states to California's Point Reyes National Seashore, relying on running and walking about 25 miles daily, with aid from sponsors and hospitality along the way. The trek draws interest in West Virginia with calls for more visitors as the trail nears public opening and potential tourism revenue.
