His trek began at 6 a.m. on April 12 in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles. The goal was to finish the walk in less than a week, he wrote on Instagram.

It took him a little longer than planned, but he celebrated his finish with a crowd of people as he reached his final destination on Saturday: the Golden Gate Bridge.

“Everybody look, there’s the bridge!” he told followers of his journey on Instagram Live.

Larios raised almost $16,000 on GoFundMe, as well as another $2,000 on Venmo and via cash donations, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He plans to donate it all to charity, and has asked followers to suggest where the money should go.

According to the newspaper, Larios, a 33-year-old data worker at a health care company, made the journey carrying just his phone, a few toiletries, socks and a flashlight. He also carried some cleaning supplies for his costume—a teddy bear character he created and named Bearsun.

After completing his journey, he described the smell inside the costume as pungent. “Like when you first open a bag of Dorito’s, and that fart smell comes out,” he told the Chronicle.

According to Larios’ Instagram, he intended to camp outdoors throughout his walk.

He told the Chronicle he managed to stick to that, refusing the offer of a night in a Best Western where he had stopped to shower. He only took two other showers during the walk—both at truck stops—as well as sponge baths in gas stations when he got the chance.

He said he never slept for more than four hours at a time, stopping for rest by the side of the road at the end of each day.

He told the Chronicle that a police officer woke him up as he rested near an offramp of Interstate 5.

Other police departments came across Larios on his journey. The Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station tweeted about an encounter with Larios early in his walk.

“This was a bear-y unique situation. You may have seen a large teddy bear walking through town,” the account wrote alongside a picture of Larios on the side of a road.

“One of our deputies got to meet the individual inside the bear & learned his goal is to complete a walk from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We wish him the best of luck on his adventure!”

The San Francisco Police Department posted a picture of Larios in costume on the department’s Instagram page, saying officers were excited to bump into him near Dolores Park.

Larios spent Saturday visiting some of the San Francisco’s landmarks, posing for pictures and a scoop of butter pecan ice cream at a Ben and Jerry’s.

He has been contacted for additional comment.
