Weekend America's Kelly McEvers is waiting for her husband to come home from a very long walk. Last June, her husband quit his job at a magazine in New York City and decided to take a walk going south. His final destination is New Orleans. He hopes to clear his head and think about the important things in life. Meanwhile, his wife is at home paying bills and wondering why comfortable people choose to make their lives difficult. McEvers went walking with her husband in Georgia and brings us their story.
