At the time of the trip we kept throwing around the slogan "Reinvigorating the American Spirit". Adventure, ingenuity, skepticism, bravery, defiance, entrepreneurship, experimentation, hope, determination. These are the elements that fueled the trip. 7 of us gambled on a 22 year old school bus modified to run on dirty cooking oil by a couple of unqualified mechanics. We were set on seeing our country in all its glory. From the spirit of New Orleans on a New Year's Eve to the beauty of a desolate Texas to the gorgeous Pacific coast, a new found appreciation for our country was to be had. 2 1/2 weeks and 3,000 miles later we'd be able to tell a story of adventure for the rest of our lives.
