The last letter from the Krisco legacy

Here’s one final hello from the Krisco Kids. The Veggie Voyage may be officially over, but it’s still hard to let go of a life of travel and adventure. It’s back to the real world for Phil and Aaron in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Duluth, Minnesota. It’s back to the working world and the job […]

Where in the World?

You are probably all on the edge of your seats, wondering where the Krisco Kid is in the vast western landscape. But we’re not going to tell you. Not just yet… Since you last heard from us, we were making our way toward Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps. The city of gambling riches, […]

The Zenith of the Journey

Greetings all, Location: San Francisco’s Presidio district Three days is way too long to not hear from the Kid. Since you last heard from us we have been staying with Nathan Keller (GAC ’02) in the Presidio district of San Francisco. After getting new brakes, the Kid was delighted to cross the famous Golden Gate […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Location: Marin Headlands, California, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Okay, that’s where the tent is, not the computer for emailing. You get the picture. Who’d have guessed we’d be spending the day in San Fran, walking on Lombard St, the curviest road in America, and strolling along the beach looking out toward […]

The Future of the Krisco Kid

Location: Gold Beach, southern Oregon coast That’s right! We are NOT in Corvallis, Oregon. And yes, you guessed it, that means the Krisco Kid has been healed! To tell you the truth, the choice wasn’t so hard to make. There were so many words of encouragement from all of you to keep going, and how […]

Quite the change in the future of the Krisco Kid, huh? Well, since it must have been just as much of a shock for you as it was for us, we’ll give you a few more details about the story (and while the truck is sitting in the auto salvage yard, what more do we […]

Grinding to a Greasy Halt

It’s been too long since you’ve heard from the Krisco Kids, hasn’t it? Well…there’s a reason… First of all, we’d like to thank all our freinds and family for hosting us out here in the Northwest. Aaron’s cousin Myla and our friends in the Lutheran and Jesuit Volunteer Corps entertained us nonstop. There are plenty […]

Coming and Going on Greasy Goodness

Hello from the two Greasy Ghouls and the Krisco Kid! The Pacific Ocean is ten times as beautiful when you reach it travelling on WASTE VEGETABLE OIL! So the last you heard from us, we were in Boise, Idaho dancing with Walmart security in the middle of the night. We headed north to Lewiston, where […]

Veggie Tales: Part 3

Hi friends, That nondescript subject line is to give those of you who have been throwing us out with the junk mail one last chance to experience the joy of the Krisco Kid Club. We may be greasy but we’re NOT garbage! Try to guess where we are: Aaron: “Weird, are those bison chips falling […]

Veggie Tales: Part 2

Hey all, So you think we are on an adventure, do ya? Can you guess where we are with the Krisco kid? Perhaps you are thinking we are in sunny California…or in the high Cascades of Washington…or even on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas, Baja Mexico. You would be wrong. We have been foiled […]
