Dreaming of a Sustainable Summer Road Trip
Well, I've posted about it on my life blog, our volksvegan adventure blog, and I pretty much can't shut up about it. So I might as well mention it here too. We're hittin' the road for the summer!
The best part of the trip, of course, is that we are traveling in a moving experiment in sustainable travel, our "volksvegan" bus that runs on waste vegetable oil and bio-diesel. I'm very excited about this trip and will be blogging from the road as often as I can. We may even document our trip on video and make a documentary. We're visiting sustainable communities and towns we're interested in moving to in the Northwest on our trip, and doing a lot of backpacking and basking in nature along the way.
We took the bus on a test run to the Okanogan Family Faire Volunteer Summit this past weekend, and you can read about that little adventure on Our Volksvegan Adventure, which I will be updating frequently on our trip. You can see some pictures of the process of converting our bus in this flickr photo set.
We hope to leave in mid-June, so there's just a few more weeks of planning and working out the volksvegan's kinks before we embark on a quest for greener travel and free fuel. Stay tuned!
