10:00pm Just about time to head off…. a few short hours of sleep and then off at 6am. We’re meeting people at Wired when we get in to trade cars etc. Hope the people who need to know this see this. And mom, I tried to get snowtires tonight, but I couldn’t. Anyway, I’m excited, packed,

Glad we’re driving through the mountains in a couple days. I’m not going to Prince George though, much as I’d like to. With
