The drive up took about 15 hours with a 2 hour stop in Seattle to meet with a couple peeps. The border crossing went smoothly. The guy asked me why I was going there like he couldn't tell from the snowmobile and 4 snowboards attached to my car. I wanted to tell him I was trafficking Russian brides across the border.
In case any of you don't know truck drivers are fucking crazy in Canada. I had a solid few hours of driving on snowy/icy roads in the dark and there were semis passing me going 60mph+. On the worst stretch of road I saw 3 wrecks in one hour. The first wreck oddly enough was a cop car with the back end smashed in. The second wreck was a semi with the cab separated from the cargo. Not sure how that happened but I'm sure it wasn't good. After I got to the next town I still had about 4 hours to go so I picked up some extra strength 5-hour energy and blasted some heavy techno for the rest of the drive while trying to keep up with the truckers when I could. I'll post a video or two later where I narrated during my caffeine/adrenaline induced haze.
My house is pretty nice and the people here have been super friendly. I've met new people to hang with almost every day since I've gotten here. Been really busy snowmobiling, working on my snowmobile, or hiking in the backcountry so it's been fun for the most part. Although working on the sled outside when it's below 0F gets kinda annoying since your hands become useless pretty quickly.
Anyway, enough with the boring stuff. I'll try post up more pics and videos later but here's something to get you started.
