On This Date in Minnesota History: June 20

June 20, 1970 – Dave and John Kunst walked East out of Waseca, Minnesota, with a pack mule named Willie Makeit. On October 5, 1974, Dave Kunst walked back into Waseca, Minnesota, from the west, to become the first person verified to have circled the land mass of the earth on foot (John Kunst was shot and killed by bandits half way around the world in Afghanistan on October 21, 1972).”
