The route went to California and back.

Today, September 9, Dwight Hora returns home to Beaufort after a month-long 9,000-mile journey to raise money and awareness to build houses for homeless veterans.

Hora, a Marine Corps veteran, raised $31,035, riding his Harley to the West Coast and back to meet with Veteran groups.
