Well, it's been a long arduous road, but I, and my family finally made the move to Spokane, WA.
The whole process started back in July/August 2003 (See archived articles for details), and it is now January 3rd, 2004, and the movers are finally unloading the truck today.
Unfortunately this is only temporary for the next six months, but the next move will be a far shorter distance thankfully. (Click Read more, for rest of this article).

We are renting a place up on "Five Mile Prarie", just above the Spokane city. The house is a bit small, and rather "cabinish", but it will suffice for the next six months while we house hunt for the purchase of a permanent home.
It's been snowing like crazy for days. Karina drove the car into the center ditch of the freeway (over 300') just south of Pocatello. Luckily all she suffered was whiplash, and the car by some miracle didn't get any damage.
 It's been a trip from Hades. I will come back later and fill in the details in this article later in the next few days. At least we made it in one piece.
I'm back to continue the tale of our trials and tribulations as we travelled through our travails.
Monday, the movers arrived with their 48' semi.
It had been snowing record storms for days in Malad City, Idaho, and was continuing to do so. And now the winds were really kicking in too, and the snow drifting like crazy.
The drivers, through Crown Transit, part of Mayflower Movers (I don't recommend them after this experience) showed up. I had just driven my 4x4 pickup truck out onto the side of the highway in front of the driveway to wait for the drivers who were somewhat lost trying to find us in the snowstorm.
I parked the truck just off ot the side, I was at a complete stop, when the truck just suddenly slid sideways, and towards the ditch. I released the brake, and put it into gear and reverse, but couldn't get out. So I had to have a neighbor quickly pull me out as the movers arrived.
The this was all before getting breakfast. I drove off to get breakfast while they stood deliberating about how to pull into the driveway.
When I returned from Burger king, they were partly jacknifed in the driveway and highway, and feet from taking out the fencing, and completely stuck in the snow. The fools hadn't bothered to chain up before trying to pull in, and were now thoroughly stuck. They were trying to put a chain on, but a bit too late.
Eventually a snowplow with the county drove by and stopped, and called in a 10 wheeler. They arrived, and with a chain from a neighbor (same chain and neighbor who kindly helped me out before), pulled the semi and trailer back out.
They had not brought, or arranged of a shuttle" to go from the house to the trailer.
So I ran down and rented a 24' (they didn't have anything else available) Uhaul truck for $60 for the day.
