Dirk Rohrbach did this as part of his multimedia project called, “50 States- A Journey into America.” He’s documenting an adventure in each state with a videographer. Rohrbach was a physician and radio journalist in Germany. He’s also published in National Geographic. 

WGCU’s Jessica Meszaros spoke with Rohrbach in-studio just hours after getting off his kayak on Thursday, Feb 1.
