The First Dease Lake Blog Post
Well here we are. We've packed up everything and moved on to Dease Lake. Lyndsay was offered a teaching position, I have the ability to work for StepForth from home, and here we are.
When we first found out we would be moving here the first thing we did was start looking for information about Dease Lake. It took some time, and was very difficult to find exactly what we were looking for. Seeing as how my career has me imersed in the world of the internet, it only made sense that Lyndsay and I create a site devoted to Dease Lake, and provide as much information as possible. If you are reading this post on or around the day it is actually being written, you'll notice that this site has little to no information on it as of yet. My goal is to have a comprehensive guide to Dease Lake by Christmas. We'll see how that goes. All I can say is keep checking back - I plan to use this blog to record anything I find of interest here in Dease Lake, and just keep track of my experience living up in the North. This will be my first "real" winter. The coldest I think I have ever felt before moving here was around -5C, a far cry from the potential -45 Dease Lake sees on occasion. Already in our first week here I have encountered 10 below, didnt seem that bad... So far my general impression of Dease Lake is a good one. The people here are simply amazing. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and has welcomed us with open arms into the community. The general feel of this town is much more inviting than that of Victoria. When we pulled the UHAUL into the driveway the neighbors came out and welcomed us and helped unload the truck. During the 4 moves I had in Victoria, never had that happened. I think its a sign that we are really going to like it here. << Return to Blog << Return to DeaseLake.net |
