Dressed impeccably in their fashionable 1970s attire, Ley and Piper donned their hats with pride as they prepared to document every thrilling moment of this historic event. Their presence symbolized not only the importance of journalism but also showcased the spirit of adventure that coursed through each participant's veins. As participants geared up for a grueling expedition covering approximately 16,000 miles across continents and cultures, Ley and Piper stood tall with their cameras ready to capture it all. With determination etched on their faces and sombreros adding a touch of local flavor to their outfits, these intrepid photographers embodied both professionalism and enthusiasm.
