The teddy bear goes by the name of Bearsun, and he's documenting his trek on Instagram.
He departed from Little Tokyo in Los Angeles on Monday, April 12, and by Thursday, he was passing through Bakersfield. His goal is to reach San Francisco in under a week and plans to cap outside the entire time along his journey.
Many people have posted photos of Bearsun spotting on social media.
Bearsun is also taking donations through a GoFundMe account to help him along his adventure and to raise money to donate to any selected non-profit.
