We’re here! We rolled into SoCal around 1 PM and I think everyone was ready to get out of the car. After some 32 hours of driving cross-country, we are just about through with long distance driving. We’re not into the house just yet–the truck will be delivered on Monday, but we’re close.
The drive out [...]

The Move: Driving Day 5–NV to CA
The Move: Drive Day 4–UT to NV
Finally, a short day in the car! I had planned the trip so that the long driving days were front-loaded. I figured, get the boring stuff out of the way, then we’d have time to see some sights out west. That kinda worked. What I didn’t count on was how ready everyone would be to [...]
The Move: Drive Day 3–CO to UT
Today we made it into Utah. The landscape is simply stunning. In fact we had great scenery all day.
Out of Denver, we climed over 5,000 feet to Vail Pass. Then we headed back down. And down. And down. In fact, we went down so much that I got 37 MPG that leg!

The Move: Truck Packing Part 2
Today we finalized our truck pack. At the risk of bragging, I would say the truck is packed extremely well. So well in fact, that we beat the last move’s pack by a foot, and our budget (as estimated by ABF) by 3 feet. And it’s an extremely tight pack with evenly defined layers. We [...]
The Move: Day 1–Pack the Truck
This is the first In a series of posts that will chronicle our move from Minnesota to California. While normally this is a tech blog, since I’m not currently doing tech but moving to a new church, that’s what I’ve got to write about. Normal geeky stuff will resume in a few weeks.
So, on to [...]
