Its been a few weeks now since I’ve made the move out to
Pullman, so its time for a little update.

| Monday is Big Ass Beer night. 1 is good enough. |
The drive was both difficult and wonderful at different
times. The day I left, Madison was getting hit with a little snow which by the
time I was packed and ready to go, turned into 5 or 6 inches. Not sure exactly
how much, but enough that my car was getting stuck, without the trailer. So
getting the trailer hooked up and getting out of there was a lot of work. But I
made it out only to drive on the highway covered with snow as well. My car
isn’t tiny, but it’s a little smaller and the trailer was testing it. With the
snow, the car would wobble pretty bad above 40 mph, so it was slow going on the
highway. Normally to get to La Crosse it’s 4 hours or so. It took me nearly 6.
I had to stop a lot to check the trailer, because it was all over the place.
But I stayed calm, and drove smart. Once I got out of Wisconsin, the snow
started to let up and I made it about half way through South Dakota before I
stopped for the night. The next day was pretty uneventful. I stopped at Wall
Drug, which was pretty fun. I bought some tea and a bumper sticker, totally
worth it. But besides that, I listened to a lot of public radio and music, but
stopped for the night in Butte. The final push was pretty short, and I had made
it to Pullman safely. Starting out so crazy, it was nice that the drive only
got easier and less stressful as I went.
