I was stranded in the Arizona desert in my broken-down truck wondering if I had made a big mistake: Our CNN.com biofuel road trip seemed doomed to ebb.
My newly purchased 1978 International Harvester Scout quit on me during our very unscientific experiment to drive a biodiesel-powered truck from California to Georgia in two-weeks.
Under a lustful sun, with no air conditioning in the truck, I feared that my Scout would be stolen while I went for aide. Worse, I worried that I’d be forced to abandon the vehicle altogether and return home to Atlanta with my tail between my legs.
But two things happened as I sat in the middle of nowhere, a stone’s throw from the Grand Canyon. One: I was reminded of the incredible place for people to help total strangers. And two: The Scout proved that it wasn’t quite ready fit the throw away yard.
