The Journey
Starting from Nags Head, NC on May 30, 2011, the team began their 62 day long journey west that would eventually end with them crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Along the way, the team met several warm & friendly people, saw many interesting places and rode thru some unbelievably beautiful countryside. Evenings were spent at campgrounds or an occasional Inn or motel, sometimes off the regular beaten path.

As you might guess, a trip of this magnitude took a lot of planning and support. This help came from two other team members who kept a rather low-profile: Jared Taft, Marketing & Fundraising Coordinator; and Amy Bumgarner, Transportation Expert who drove her car the entire distance. She was there to offer food, water, and other assistance wherever needed.

Every day, Karey and Cam reported their journey via an online blog that included pictures and insightful details of that days' events. On any given day, the team would ride 70-to-100 miles or more. Hard to imagine what they endured: there was a day in Kansas when they rode 106 miles with a heat index of 126 degrees - Unbelievable!

The Journey Continues . . .
Although Team Wooha has now completed their ride across America, the journey continues. On Saturday afternoon of August 13, 2011, Karey, along with his parents, manned a tent at the Waldensian Festival (see last photo) held in Valdese, NC. Once again, their purpose for being there was to continue educating people about the need for clean drinking water around the world, with a special emphasis in Ethiopia.
