We had a contact that was selling filtered veggie oil for $2.00 a gallon. We were reluctant to purchase something we could get for free, but we decided to do it. We met Steve at his shop. Steve's shop is in a sketchy neighborhood in Memphis. We pulled up to his garage and there was veggie oil in every type of container 55 gallon drums, cubes, 275 gallon containers. Steve was definitely a product of the 70's. We filled up and when we were finished Steve said we didn't owe him anything. He was onboard with our mission as someone who has enjoyed many road trips in his 53 years.

You could have had our leftover oil here in Kingston, TN. Thats where your uncle lives Christian, about a mile from Interstate 40. Oh Well! See you on the way back.
I might know that guy Steve from the 70's.
Good Luck you guys.
Run Rabbit.....Run!
Too cool guys. Wow what hutzbagh you've got in this day and age to take on such a trip. Ah you're young... Safe and interesting journey to you both from a friend of your Uncle Ken.
I'm praying for you as you guys cross the border! I'm sure you'll be welcomed with open arms and greeted with tacos and banda musica. Mexico just got two guys cooler.
I MISS you both!!!! I'm starting to really feel your absence. There's a new-englander shaped hole in my life.
I don't like the positive supportive tone these comments are taking... just know that not all of your friends are rooting for you. Some of us have our fingers crossed that the next entry will be posted from a mexican prison
( they all have wifi, right? ). Here's hoping you survive your ordeal, but only so I can laugh in your french fry smellin' hippy faces.
Hey Lyle,
You don't sound, like a friend.
I'll bet ALL, their FRIENDS ARE, rooting and praying for them.
Run Rabbit....Run!
