He’s battled breakdowns, wintry weather already and a few other technical difficulties, but Kenneth Moore is undeterred.

Moore passed through Iola Monday on his cross-country trek from Maryland to New Mexico, where he is headed to visit his ailing brother.

All of his belongings were strapped to a small trailer he’s towing on his bicycle.

Without a vehicle, Moore eschewed seeking a flight “because of COVID.”

And his companion, an 8-year-old pit bull mix named Raven, is prohibited from riding buses, so Moore decided to make his trip a different kind of journey.
