So far, we have taught approximately 430 primary school students and 20 fighter pilot and WSO students. We have also talked to numerous strangers, friends, and even a few dogs about biofuels.
We have traveled through 13 states, driving 3948 miles, using only 14.969 gallons of petroleum diesel, and we've paid $175 for fuel so far (biofuels and petroleum combined).
Since we get 25 miles per gallon, that works out to 90.5% of our trip on biofuels (this is skewed low due to the fact that we have a full tank of biodiesel. Don't worry - as we go along, that number will drop, but so far, we are meeting our goal of 90% biofuels.
Out of 30-ish nights on the road, we have spent 1 in a motel, 1 in a campground (last night), 1 was paid for by Mary's residency program, 3 on Sacha's Marriott points, and the rest have been on the couches of our many extremely generous (and far-flung) friends and family. Heartfelt thanks to each of you for helping us make this trip a reality - you are the reason we are able to complete this trip.
We've also reached our 100th post to this blog.
Thanks everyone who is following along - we appreciate it immensly.
Please also note that we have been away from reliable internet for the past few days, so our blog posts have been slow - we'll get better, we promise!
We have (finally) uploaded photos from our talks in Goldsboro, NC - see the gallery here:
