Dave and Amy are on a three year kayak/canoe/dog-sledding expedition around North America, bringing the wilderness into the classrooms of 65,000 school children and 1900 teachers.
Currently delayed on their North American Odyssey, which they began on Earth Day in 2010, they were scheduled to present at the New Jersey Kayak shop right before Hurricane Sandy hit. They presented to a small audience, and then got outta there. The shop suffered damage, but their kayaks were waiting for them, tied up in front, when they returned from evacuation. They are staying in New Jersey for awhile to assist with the hurricane relief before heading down the east coast to Key West.
Check out their introductory video here, their blog, and their Facebook page to see exactly what they are doing.
Very cool. Enjoy!
