Vegetable oil attracts bears. I’m well aware of this fact as I lie in a cold tent at Yellowstone National Park, smelling like my unconventional fuel, reflecting on the trip so far and owning up to a myriad of failures. I revisit three broken rules, including time spent on I-90. I ask myself whether I’ve failed or the country has failed me. The question seems facetious at first, but by the time two strangers help me jumpstart my car in the morning, I’m seriously wondering if traveling by the six rules I’ve chosen is possible at all in 2011.
