Stories Related to Man Bikes 5,000 Miles, Reunites With Army Buddy In Mountain Top

MOUNTAIN TOP — Mark Sypeck and David “Kawika” Plummer sat together on the porch of Sypeck’s Mountain Top home, finishing each other’s sentences, recalling their past shared experiences and making future plans. Somewhat unique about the interaction, though, is that before last Friday, the two Army buddies who served together in the early 1980s had not seen each other for 33 years. Reunited about six years ago on Facebook, Plummer traveled about 5,000 miles to make the reunion possible — on a bicycle. An avid cyclist and trainer since he retired from the Army in 2008, Plummer viewed his journey as a chance to see the country, pedaling his way to his home state of Pennsylvania to touch base with family members and a friend he said was “a brother.” Currently a resident of Hawaii, Plummer said the first leg of his journey was by air to California.
