Fighting a fierce headwind, the BioBus valiantly roared through the hills and valleys of interstate 80 today, our engine burning Illinois soybean oil collected from a New York City Taqueria. The adventures have already begun, and Tim, an environmental scientist and veteran BioBus teacher and ‘shipmate,’ and I are relaxing at a campground near Clearview, PA after a long day of vegetable oil filtering and driving. We’ll make it to Bowling Green, Ohio, tomorrow to visit the University there and stay with my friend Miles, an astronomy professor. He might be disappointed to see that we’ve decided to put a green roof on the BioBus instead of a telescope, but I hope that he’ll be excited to see that in spite of the high winds and driving, the plants are flourishing!
Time to get some sleep now, but Tim and I will be making daily posts chronicling our encounters on the road. Stay tuned! Oh, and I am sorry to say that our live GPS is not working for some reason, will try to fix this soon, but not to worry, we’re not sitting broken down in the Bronx!
