Michael and Andy have been pedaling the Whooper Highway for 47 days, and have three days remaining to reach central Saskatchewan. While it certainly hasn’t been easy, the positivity and determination of our team has made this an incredibly exciting and fun journey.
Yesterday we hit a huge milestone–Mike and Andy’s first day pedaling over 100 miles! Their final tally was 101 miles from Nokomis, SK to Wakaw, SK. Make sure you’re tracking their progress each day by checking our website! Link is in our bio.
With the end of our time on the Whooper Highway fast approaching, we want to take a moment to show some gratitude to our incredible crew who helped support, film, coordinate, and promote this project.
Our SAG (Support and Gear) team: Daizy Silva, Carter Crouch, Mariah Lundgren, Taylor Moates, and Ethan Graff.
The Platte Basin Timelapse film crew: Carlee Koehler, Dakota Altman, and Grant Reiner.
Our outreach, press, and events team: Grace Carey, Mariah Lundgren, Ryan Michalesko, Sara Gavney-Moore, and Hannah Petrilli.
Friends who hosted the PWH team at their home: Carter Crouch’s family, the Switzer family, Cliff Miles, Jim Faulstich–thank you for your generosity and kindness!
A very special shoutout to the International Crane Foundation and Diane Crookham-Johnson for their generous help with fundraising efforts and support of our team. Huge thank you to all other crane lovers and conservation enthusiasts who donated as well!
It would be nearly impossible to list all the incredible organizations and individuals who helped us spread the word. We are so grateful for the time and effort that all our partners put into this project.
Last, but certainly not least, thank YOU for supporting us and following along at home. Time to finish this migration strong!
