We survived the trip and are now settling in to our new home. The weather is a bit different.
I made it to Upstate, NY

The name is definitely staying. I still think of my FJC as an Arizona FJ. I know it's wondering who turned off the heat.
The day that snow fell, I pulled out a full size van that backed into a ditch and a 4x4 Blazer that managed to skid 30 feet off the road through 2 foot deep snow. It was great to have a rig that made it look easy. Sorry, no pictures. One thing that I learned very quickly while digging under the Blazer to find an attachment point for my tow strap was that gloves are VERY important. I'm not sure what was more painful, my hands freezing or thawing. I just know I won't do that again without gloves. Live and learn!!
My wife says that there are a bunch of people at her work that wheel, so hopefully I will be able to hook up with them soon. It will be different to see how different the offroading is around here. All of my offroading experience has been in the Southwest.
If any of you find yourselves in Corning, New York, please feel free to look me up. I'm 20 miles from Watkins Glen and a couple of hours from Niagara Falls.

Thanks for the invite. I'm a long way from Gotham City, but I'll check out the club. If there are any trips planned for this part of the state I'll try to join them.
