Today we made our way from Southern Oregon into Northern California.
We caught our first glimpse of the ocean during this pilgrimage. Breathtaking.
Rocky had a moment of Zen at the Pacific Ocean.
And we filled up at a biodiesel station not far outside Eugene, Oregon.
The SeQuential Station that we stopped at is the only one that the company currently operates. The guys working inside said they understood it to be the only one of its kind in the Unites States. It reminded us of The Station in Oracle, Arizona, just a bit more urban and corporate. SeQuential Station sells biodiesel and ethanol in various grades.
They also have solar panels on the roof over their pumps that supply 30 to 50 percent of the station's electricity.
The roof of the store has living plants on it that help to keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
The store sells local products including Kettle potato chips. Kettle provides a lot of the waste veggie oil that the company turns into biodiesel.
