RVing family crosses country promoting biodiesel

Here's a whole new spin on the age-old, "What did you do over your summer vacation?" routine. For the children of Taylor and Christina Jenkins of Nampa, Idaho, the story may be too much for some to swallow. It might go something like this, "We spent the summer crossing the country to talk about alternative energy." But it's all too true.

The Jenkins family of six have been crossing the US in their bio-diesel fueled Monaco Class A motorhome, promoting earth-friendly fuels and lifestyles. The family left their Idaho home on the 25th of June, and have already made it to the east coast. The problem, they've noted with the east is that many of the biodiesel sales outfits sell to "members," and often during limited daylight hours. Perhaps things will go better as they make the 'flip flop' heading for their final event in Shoreline, Washington slated for July 21, the Sustainable Living and Renewable Energy Fair.
