27 year old Cary Gray, has traveled the continent by unicycle and kayak since 2013
Gray on his way to the southernmost tip of South America, via the West Coast of the USA from Washington to Los Angeles, then east through Death Valley and on to the headwaters of the Mississippi River.
There, he'll kayak through to the Gulf of Mexico, then around Florida, through the Caribbean islands and into Venezuela, where he'll once again hop on his unicycle.

The easy way would have been if (as a nose art website, WW2 bomber content heavy blog, and press pass email lists I'm on) the published had let me know directly.
