Well, tour so far has been very very innaresting. Incidents thus far:
running over a dead deer, surviving a fly infestation, police search and lengthy
interrogation by state trooper (" you guys are crazy! this vehicle is going to
explode! "), back axle making very disconcerting noises (likely as a result of the dead
deer we hit), hot springs, bathing in crystal pure waters (using our trusted Dr. Bronner's),
trespassing and swimming in fast-flowing creeks on a farm, long mountain drives, a
death threat from a drunk man, our engine exploding into a hissing cloud, buying
butter at a Circle K and being literally bombarded by drunk people in the parking lot,
15 gallons of bio-diesel, 80 gallons of waste vegetable oil, the confused looks of fellow
drivers who see us filtering oil in a parking lot using a filtering sock into a plastic
barrel, tour of a former RV park now a completely off-the-grid compound
inhabited by an inventor (Mikey Sklar and his cool lady) who recently sold his latest
invention to NASA, a tour of a biodiesel facility... to filter their oil, they had constructed
a copper pyramid and were piping in Tibetan monk chants through speakers to create
spiritual intention for their filtering process. And we are about to play, uninvited,
unannounced, at a coffee shop called "Bentleys.
"

Here is a post from Mikey Sklar's blog about our visit to his compound of creativity.

If you have time, you should
look at his Flickr page. It is totally rad.


BTW, I think an equally good name would be the "Living off the fat of our great land" tour.
