In 1989, Roger Jones was fresh out of rehab and ready for adventure. It was his first trip as a quadriplegic, but that wasn’t going to slow him down. On a complete whim, he drags his friend Dan on an epic trip to Venezuela.
Their ten-day vacation would have more plot twists than a National Lampoon flick. Here you can watch him tell his full story in this video.
