Man pulling a cart from LA to DC

Hi there, has anyone seen a man pulling a cart carrying a decorated box along the towpath?
The decorations on the box indicate that he is making some sort of pilgrimage or protest march from Los Angeles to D.C.
I believe that he is a Mennonite and is making this trip for political/religious reasons. He should be east of Cumberland. I'm an independent journalist and would REALLY like to contact him. Please Let me know if you've seen or heard about him.
Thanks!
Thomas Parry

There was a mention on the unofficial GAP facebook page of a sighting on 3/12 on the GAP trail between mile markers 12 and 11.

Must be a slow day. I went and checked the facebook post re: "man pulling a cart carrying a decorated box". He might not be Mennonite, I dunno. He goes by the name Ras Ible on facebook.
Just had a facebook post on his account claiming he just left Falling Waters campsite in WVA.

That's quite the cart and cause .... interesting to say the least.

I just happened to see your post...I was running earlier today and saw him just coming into Point of Rocks at about 11:30 AM. He had stopped for a break...

By the way...he was pulling the cart on foot. I noticed "Rasible for mayor" and "End Prohibition in 2016" painted on the cart. It also had a huge red cross symbol on the side. It is a good size cart. Large enough to sleep in. I was just amazed he was pulling it on foot. I did get some good pictures.

Interesting story. He goes by Ras Ible...he is a military veteran on his way to D.C. (from the west coast) to protest for the legalization of medicinal Marijuana. The cart is actually solar powered.

He's parked downtown DC in front of the Chamber of Commerce
