Charley Eskins, 75, of Oberlin Road, recalls walking from New York City to Los Angeles in 1929. He treats long day hikes as educational but not sensational, noting others recently completed walks from Pittsburgh to Washington covering about 30 miles. The nationwide interest follows President Kennedy's remarks on marathon hikes.
