and so ends 3 weeks of radio silence

We have officially arrived in Bakerville.  We came up the last week of April in my truck pulling a UHaul, all went well until we tried to get up the massive hill on our drive.  Little truck said no way!!!  Lucky for us, the septic installers were at the house picking up their excavator.  They offered to tow the trailer up for us and acted like it was nothing at all.  Another example of the awesome friendly folks we keep running into every day.  The PODS folks tried to deliver our storage units in the middle of that awful storm that came through, the winds were so high they were afraid of them blowing over so they left.  Another driver came back the next day with a bigger truck and dropped them off with no problems.  We hired an unload crew to bring all the boxes up the many steps to the cabin, money WELL spent! The movers showed up Tuesday with the real furniture, after 10 days of sleeping on an air mattress and sitting in lawn chairs we slept like the dead in a real bed.  At this point we are probably 80% unpacked, we have found the grocery store and Lowes and are starting to get into the local groove.  The internet/cable company threw us a last minute curve when they said our house required a construction crew and therefore a permit, blah blah and it would take 4-6 more weeks before we had high speed internet and phone.  In an act of desperation (and necessary employment) we signed up for a year of HughesNet which was just installed this afternoon.  Finally we can pay some bills and say hi to family and friends!  So, here are a few pics of the house as we arrived (before it became Box-a-palooza) and as we start to make it a home.

Sunrise our first morning here :-)
