- Description: On June 1, 1909, the Woolf spouses departed from Kansas City bound for the Ozark Mountains, accompanied by their dog and a horse-drawn cart. Their luggage included a stove, a tent, blankets, spare parts, and food. Their first outdoor adventure proved to be a discovery that changed their lives. During the journey, Dwight also composed the song 'Take a Walk,' which later achieved some success. Driven by the desire to return to nature, they set out again from Kansas City on May 2, 1910. They reached New York City after 14 weeks of walking, on August 15. Returning by train to Kansas City, they set out again on October 15 for an 8'000-mile journey through Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., New England, California, and Utah. It was commonly believed that their last trip was the longest ever undertaken by a couple. The journey they embarked on the following year, in 1911, kept them away from home until November 1915 and allowed them to walk 20'000 miles. In addition to numerous photographs, they published the book entitled "Tramping and Camping by the Walking Woolfs"

After riding two days and a night under leg power or rather over it, I reached New York in the middle of the afternoon on July 6. I made frequent stops to rest and I attracted more than a little attention but I was too tired to care.
