Been here 4 weeks...time for an update

Early on the morning of March 10th, after 2 days of packing the Uhaul...we were ready to go. That 26ft Uhaul was packed from floor to ceiling , front to back...STUFFED!! There was no more room, we left some stuff behind, and so far we haven't missed it too much.
  We had some amazing friends who showed up on the last day and helped us with everything!! Roxanne and Steve Beaulieu, were such go getters. They made it happen! Gord and Jay showed up to help too! Auntie Jay brought coffee and goodies at the perfect time. They all helped stuff boxes in the truck , clean up the mess and at the end they took home the stuff we had no room for!
 What would we have done without them!? What amazing friends!!!   This is the UNIT! just before we left Williams Lake...in Nana Shirley's yard.

 So the trip was pretty uneventful....and the pictures make it look worse than it was. The Rogers Pass was the worse part of the drive. The roads were bare and wet, and it was snowing , but it was mild. This is the the highways truck on the side with the flashing lights.....just keep driving before they close the pass!!
 Mike , Corb and Chloe rode in the Uhaul. Logan and I drove the van (which was also stuffed full). All the pictures while we drove, were taking by Logan.

 This is one of my favourites! Look at all the snow!! and Ice. 
 There was so much snow at the top....you've got to love the signs...nothing like scaring the crap out of the average driver!
 And sometimes ...it's a little icy

So for our first day...we went from Williams Lake to Golden, BC. That was the hardest part! But we made it! I followed Mike and put on my hazzard lights on when we went up the hills ....we were going about 40km / hr......SLOW!! That Uhaul was heavy!!
