Tangentially, Road Fever is a pretty epic read about two roadtrippers who get from the Tierra del Fuego, Argentina to Prudhoe, Alaska, in 24 days. Border crossings, mechanical issues, weather, the Darien Gap, all covered. (They took a ferry I think). Looking at the pictures and the intensity, 90km has to feel like an eternity on actual land

I believe you mean 90 megameters.

  I don't believe he does mean 90 million kilometers (a tenth of the circumference of earth's orbit around the sun)

    "mega" means million. 90 megameters is 90,000 kilometers, or 90 million meters.

  The crossing of the Darien Gap is about 90 kilometers (from the article). I assume @exue was referring to that part.
