We recently made a move from Fort Carson, Colorado to Augusta, Georgia. We don't particularly enjoy the South, but we have to come here so I can take some advanced classes for my Army.
On the way here, there was an accident in the opposite lane of traffic from us. It was hard to see, but it looked like someone else who was moving had a very bad day. There were toys and boxes all over and it looked like a moving truck had burned up (picture). As it turns out, it was much worse than that. Apparently, it WAS a family that was moving and they were headed east on the same road as us. Something happened to the rental truck and he crossed the grassy median and crashed head on into a semi-truck. Everyone in the accident was killed. The wife of the rental truck driver was following behind and saw the whole thing. Ouch.
Other than that incident, the drive across the country was uneventful - even pulling a car loaded with crap behind the Jeep. Our apartment was waiting for us when we arrived and the first day we got here we were able to get the kids registered for school and get groceries and we even managed to unload the car, get it weighed empty on the trailer and then turn in the trailer. I was concerned because I didn't want to have the trailer stolen while we waited to turn it in. Not very trusting I suppose.
