Intrepid Hamster Plans Road Trip to Living Room

James, a small hamster from the seaside town of Gloucester, MA, will attempt to cross the entire downstairs in what figures to be a harrowing three-day journey.  His trip will follow the path of his father’s famous 2009 expedition, and will take him through the kitchen, past the dining room, down the hall by the stairs and finally to the living room.  His father tragically fell into an air conditioning vent before making it to the summit of the recliner.

James plans to embark in mid-May once the winter weather has passed.
