Up in good time, we loaded last-minute supplies, turned the
trailers around, and pointed them down the hill. You’d think we were going to
the Yukon with all the fussing and picture-taking going on! Early enthusiasm
for the fact we were actually on the road resulted in “You should put that in
your blog!” whenever we passed anything interesting.
We spent the first section of the highway practicing our use
of the walkie talkies. You really don’t
want to be here if you like to look cool but that is not one of our problems.
Our handles are Penguin and Butsy and phrases like “Mobile Mama, you’re running
straight and true” and “Roger dodger” were actually spoken. We avoided “Over
and out” and only Bill says 10-4 but all-in-all it is a very useful way to communicate.
We gassed up at Chilliwack and Fay took over their rig for her
practice run from Chilliwack to Hope. (Female penguins don’t drive trucks but
they are good encouragers.)
