Since I lived in a neighborhood that's prone to stealing, I had to organize things so that my life was not left on a truck in the street. I took everything out of my room and into the garage. Then, I did the required cleaning and spackling before I got the truck.

My friend, Jeannine helped me pack the truck and keep an eye on things while I got the last stuff out of the house. I pulled away at dark, stopped at Eldri's place to pick up 50 lbs of yarn, and made it to Wolf Creek by 2:30AM. After 20 solid hours of work I was too tired to light a fire. In the morning I awoke in a VERY cold cabin and went outside to be dazzled by the frost. I'll be putting more pictures up on my Picasa album, which you can see HERE.

After unpacking the truck and taking a quick nap, I looked outside to see the golden late afternoon sun filtered through the first snow. It was breathtaking.

And then, as quickly as it had started, the snow was gone, leaving a clear sky and gorgeous sunset. It was a beautiful first day on the land.
