In June, 2009, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford disappeared from public sight for five days, a period during which neither his wife nor much of his staff apparently knew where he had gone. A Sanford spokesperson eventually told reporters that the Governor was on a secretive hike along the Appalachian Trial to clear his head after a tough legislative session. Turns out that Sanford had actually been in Argentina where he had been conducting an extra-marital affair.
