On the move...

My life is up side down at the moment. I'm in the process of moving out of home. I am currently unemployed, and in three days I'll be homeless as well. My only possessions will be my car, and a couple suitcases.

I feel liberated by the fact of getting rid of so much. My furniture, my TV (sniff...), most of my books, and a whole lot of stuff of which the Salvation Army has been a recipient.

But it is exhausting.

I still have to drive out west (in my Subaru) for the last time for a farewell visit to my Canadian family out west, before someone takes possession of my car (It will probably be the Fire Department in Ottawa, they could use it for practice), so I will try and do my best to document my next trip across the Trans-Canada.


CHEERS!!

LAST CANADIAN TRUCKING DAYS

Forgive my tardiness, but my life has been topsy-turvy for the last month or so...

I have decided to end my Canadian trucking experience for good. I have had enough. It has been fun for the last (almost) five years, but it is fun no more. I did enjoy it very much while it was a new experience, and I'll never regret having done it. But as another winter approaches, I have to say that, since the last one, I have been looking forward to it with dread. Deep down I'm a European trucker. Snow once in a while, OK. But not all the time, please.
Last but not least, I miss my family in Spain, and the food...

I will be in Spain on time for Christmas, and I plan to keep on trucking.

Here are some recent pictures of my last trips.

As you can see, snow arrives early October.

But then it melts away...

And then it comes back.



Chiliwack, BC. Ahhh, the eternal springtime...

Eastbound from Vancouver, Chiliwack is just before the Rockies.



Back to real life... across the Rockies.

Busy snow plow, working on wet snow.
