MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
After two weeks, 10 hotels, and countless stops at fast-food restaurants, my dad and I can finally say our mission is accomplished- we drove from New York to California entirely on PROPANE!! We met some great people along the way and made memories that will last a lifetime…and best of all, we proved propane is an excellent alternative fuel that can be found from sea to shining sea!
We ended our journey in San Ramon, CA, where my sister and brother-in-law now reside. We spent a few days touring the San Francisco area to get a few final photos for Propane’s Excellent Adventure, and then we headed home to the great state of Oklahoma. But even though the trip is through, our adventure continues…wherever we go we’re eager to tell the story of our journey, and we can’t drive 10 miles without someone asking about the truck. In fact, just before we dropped our Adventuremobile off at the San Francisco airport a local Californian stopped to check it out and inquire about the trip. The propane-powered pickup proved to be a walking (ahem, driving) advertisement for the propane industry, and we couldn’t be more happy!
Here are some of my favorite photos from beautiful California. Just because the driving portion of our adventure is over doesn’t mean we’re going to stop telling the story, so check in soon for more blog updates!

Eureka!!!! You made it to the Golden State with LP Gas to spare (I hope). Nobody can make fun of LP Gas now. I guess my question is what if I don’t want to drive from NY to SF on LP Gas…can I take a shorter trip? Like to Rocky, Oklahoma?
Sounds like a great experience. I was worried about Abbey and your dad’s safety until i found out that you hired a professional propane driver.
I’m glad you dad got to go and enjoy a little father son bonding…you’re not a bad guy after all.
Be safe… have fun!
