I had a moving sale this past Sunday. It wasn’t anywhere near as busy as I was hoping it would be. I advertised in the locals buy/sell groups on Facebook and had signs out on the highway, only had 20 or so people come by in total and I sold about $600 worth of stuff.

I’ll be giving a bunch of it away now. I have some decent clothes that I’ll donate to charity. Other stuff I’ll post on Facebook Marketplace and say it’s free and the vultures will come, I’m sure.

After the sale, I went out with a neighbour for dinner to the local Chinese restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious and even leftovers so we both had an extra large meal. I’ll miss that restaurant when I head north.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I’ll go and pick up my trailer, it’s getting a few last minute fixes done. The floor in the trailer where the slide out is wasn’t installed properly, that’s getting fixed and some additional security chains are being in for the 5th wheel hitch. I also want to see if it’ll properly support a swing arm for the TV, I’m pretty sure it will.

I’ll bring it home Friday morning and will start loading it up, clothes and kitchen stuff. My housekeeper will be over to assist, then we’ll organize and get rid of a bunch of stuff in the house.

The dogs and I will head north around noon, I’m hoping, getting to Balzac by 230ish. I’ll setup and level the trailer, connect to power and then settle in. The dogs actually haven’t been in the trailer yet, they’ll get a preview on Friday morning. Friday night should be relaxing, I hope anyway. I’ll head back to the Pass first thing Saturday morning to make a couple of dump runs.

We’ll head back Saturday night and I plan on relaxing Sunday. I’m back to work on the holiday Monday and that’ll be my first day working from the trailer. I’ve been testing StarLink internet for the past week and it’s been solid. I have a new cell plan with Bell Mobility and that’ll serve as backup.

I’ll miss aspects of living in The Pass. I’ve made a couple of good friends and I’m going to miss the closeness of the mountains, the lakes, the peacefulness. I won’t miss the almost constant wind that you get here, that’s for sure, and I won’t miss all day trips into the city to buy everyday essentials.

I’m excited about this, I really am. The change will be a good one.
