The Road Trip

So technicaly I started on Friday from Lake Leelanau, MI and drove to Traverse to get my cast cut off. From there I drove to Lake Zurich, IL (Holly Revords's House) to celebrate Dona's Bachelorrette weekend in Chicago. It was a blast and I had a little too much fun.

After the weekend of fun I met my friend Jason Gamm in Milwaukee, WI for a little bite to eat, and moved on to The Twin Cities, MN to stay with Jess Johnson. I had a quick breakfast with Jess on Monday morning then drove all the way to Billings, MT. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express because I had so many points with that hotel from my work before.

From Billings, MT I drove to Spokane, WA. I stopped there because I did not want to cross the Cascades at night. On Wednesday I only drove to Seattle, WA/ Mount Vernon, WA and stayed with a couple of Tech grads (Kate & Matt) I then left from Mount Vernon, WA to go to Vancouver, BC. Crossing the boarder was no big deal at all. I thought they would want to search my car or atleast look in it but they didn't. I did have to sit at the border for about 45 min to wait to get my work visa.

After getting into Vancouver I got to meat my boss at the main office and some other people around the office as well. I will be hanging out with Tricia this weekend, then I have my orientation on Monday morning and I will be meeting with my boss for lunch to talk about the job and what is expected of me. Tuesday morning I will fly out via float plane to my project. I will then be there for 20 days. I will try and update as much as possible when I am at camp.
