arrived in Urbana

Friends, we are in Urbana. Jill's mom and dad joined us for the driving adventure from Abq to Urbana. We men drove 1200 miles in a 14' Uhaul truck while the womens were in the Mazda.

Many thanks to Gus, Rocky, Randy, and Ryan for the help loading the truck. Also thanks to Jill's parents, Bob, and David for helping to unload in Urbana. The polkadots also helped pack and clean our old apartment.

Here's what the truck looked like after we took out Jill's red bike plus a couple of wheels. Tight fit!
More updates to come as we get ourselves settled. We do have interwebs and phone at our place now (and power and water). First impression is that the weather is great here (this is funny because it seems that the day we arrived was the first time anyone had been outside since November). Seems like it was a tough winter here.

Winter wasn't too tough here, at least in my opinion. I still got in over 200 miles biking Dec-Mar. (I didn't take any longer rides, but only ice kept me from running errands.) There was one day when the temp didn't get over zero, but that only made the next week or so of 15 degree temps feel warm by comparison.
