For those that were interested we made it all the way to Seattle yesterday!

Two cars, two dogs, 32.5 hours of driving and three days. Whew. Who else needs a beer? 

Cars did fine. Weather was beautiful the entire drive. The dogs behaved. It was really uneventful, which is what you want in a cross-country trip like that.

As for the bike, Haulbikes.com f**cked me. Some a$$hole told me they'd pick up the bike last Tuesday at the latest. So, when I didn't hear from them. I called to discover the damn driver had gotten stuck in Florida with the hurricane, but even before that there was no way he'd have made it by then. So, after 3 days of yelling at them I have the bike over at Christine and Kat's house (59ers) and a pickup date estimate of this Thursday thru Saturday. Thank the bike gods for good people like them. They're babysitting the skunk in their garage and will arrange to be home for the driver to pick her up. Still, that means like at least a month without the bike. ARGH!! 

Glad you guys made it!  Eat some fresh seafood for us! 
A month!?!?!  that BITES!! you definitely need a few  to wash that down.
Remember time fly's - sure you'll be busy getting settled and the bike will be there before you know it  [moto]

Well, with the exception of the bike, everything sounds like it was cool.  I envy your new location and all the good riding roads!  Good luck in your new digs 

Happy trails,

Cher

Glad you guys made it safely!  Keep us updated on how you are doing!! 

1 month huh?  Isnt that like the whole riding season up there?

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!          

Wish you the best getting settled 

Glad to hear all is well man. Good luck to you guys.

If you cant get it there, I'll make an offer on it, although it has been laid down

Glad ya'll made it OK. Never been in the Northwest but it's supposed to be beautiful... minus the rain. Hope the bike transport goes as well as the car trip up. How's the sale of the house going??

hope you get your bike soon; pack lots of ponchos and wet-weather bags!   

Good luck up there.  Hope you get to do some moose hunting, they make a tasty burger.

House is still up for sale. No offers yet, but seem to have a few interested parties. We'll see how it goes.
