This blog began in 2004 as we set out to travel in our veggie oil powered school bus. The inside is completely set up as an RV and we run almost entirely on waste veggie oil that we gather and filter for free. The posts in 2004 were made during our trip although at the time we had limited internet access. I hope you enjoy!

Greasy update......
Yeah, internet connection!
We are in Rapid City, SD and have come so far! We have logged, I believe around 900 miles on grease! In fact we filled up our diesel tank when we left Springfield and it just now dipped below the full line. We have gotten several no's when asking for grease but now we are starting to get alot of yesses and they have purty grease! Thanks to Emilys in Bersford, SD (thats not right, but I can't think of the name of the town right now, sorry Emily!) We got about 10 gallons there. In Mitchell, SD we got 35 gallons at the RANCH HOUSE! And most recently we got probably about that much at Cedar Pass Lodge in The Badlands National Park! THANK YOU! We are getting alot more interest in the bus in western South Dakota than we did anywhere in Iowa. I found that intersting.
We have replace the waterpump (thanks to the BP in Jefferson, SD for letting us stay there all day and night while we (I mean Chris) fixed it. And today we replace a relay that kept making this buzzer go off. Very annoying. Besides eating up some time and money these repairs are to be expected when driving an 88 school bus across the country. And none of these repairs have been veggie related.
We have been so busy! I wish I had time to post some pics. but I am limited to an hour on this computer and time is ticking. We saw The Corn Palace and Prehisotoric Indian Village in Mitchell. Went on a beautiful hike in the Badlands,visited Mount Rushomore, and are now heading on in the Black Hills. All is well.
In case anyone is intested or know anyone that is...they can receive a press packet by emailing veggiebusinfo@aol.com
We are all waving to everyone we know, and to those we don't.
Happily Bumping Along,
Tiff
