Officially began yesterday. Rented a 26' U-Haul. Ended up having to rent a 5'x8' trailer to tow behind the Tacoma.

I'm authorized 11,000 lbs. for household goods. We came in at 10,640.

We will be leaving Savannah tomorrow. I'll post pics along the way. We're headed thru Atlanta, Nashville, St. Louis, and Kansas City. Then along the Nebraska, Iowa border into South Dakota. From there we'll be onto Wyoming and then crossing into Canada via Montana. All told, it should end up being 4,802 miles.


All with 2 dogs and a 17 month old. This will be one hell of an interesting trip.

Safe travels, Yank ! After meeting you it's harder to tell you stfu but I'm glad this thread is almost over.
Still kind of hope you get eaten by a Grizzly though.

Make sure that rig is running good. You'll be in no man's land with very few exits. Wave to my godson when you go through Montana. You going through Bozeman and on over to Butte before heading north.

Safe trip, Yank. Pics will be nice along with blogging adventures and/or misadventures along the way.
