WLNS (Lansing) has hired a new morning Anchor and it is taking her time to get to the station.

Bonney Bowman is coming to Michigan from her job in Anchorage, Alaska and she's doing it by car.

Bowman explains that it’s cheaper to get her car to Lansing if she drives, and she has some companions for the trip, including her mother. "I have two dogs and two cats," Bowman explains, "and we flew them up to Alaska when I moved four years ago. It was extremely challenging and expensive, so we thought this time, let's just drive."

Along the way, she’s posting photo and video updates to Facebook.

Bowman plans to arrive in Lansing on tomorrow, wrapping up a 3,800 mile journey.
