Maybe not the last post?
Perhaps the last post was not, afterall, the last post...
I had a few things I wanted to mention to my readers of this blog. First I am surprised how many people actually read this and visit the site on a regular basis! When I first set up the site I anticipated being of use for a couple of searchers. Since setting it up I have recieved the occassional email of questions and comments, but not a lot of feedback. Since notice that we are leaving the Stikine, I have had a ton of emails from people all over wishing us good luck and letting us know they are sorry to see us go. I have also had much contact with people wondering the future status of this website.
As it stands right now the DeaseLake.net site will remain live. I have no plans of taking it down as it has already become a resource for many people. If I do eventually plan on removing the site before doing so I will see if I can find anyone who is willing to take it over.
The site may start to become more static as my updates will be much fewer. If you still manage to find something that is out of date, or inaccurate, please let me know and I will correct/update it. The same goes for business postings etc. I will be happy to post all that kind of information as it arrives.
Many thanks for the best wishes from everyone! To let you know we have made it safe and sound and as I write this I am sitting at the table looking out the window at the ocean and a clear blue sky... with a view like this its hard to miss being in Dease Lake with the bugs... oh yes, did I mention that there are no bugs here?
While we loved living in Dease, and love the surrounding area, I think the part we will miss most is the people. We had made so many good friends in the short 8 months we lived up there. While we will keep in touch with some, I am sure we will lose touch with most over time. In a community like Dease Lake there it is quite easy to meet people - something that will be much more difficult here in Comox.
Lyndsay and I both graduated from Highschool here in the Comox Valley, but most, if not all, of our friends from way back when have moved on and left the area - we will be pretty well starting from scratch with the exception of our family here.
The move went very well. I had my reservations about the UHaul truck and was concerned that it may not make it, but it did in fact pull through with no major problems. The drivers side wiper started falling off, and with some frequent engine sputtering we managed to make it in one piece.
We got into the valley around 8:30 last night after catching a 5pm ferry. Hoping to be able to unload the truck today but are unsure if the storage place is even open.
As we settle in here I will post a few more times to let our friends from the North, and anyone else interested, know what our status is. Please if you have any questions, or want to drop us a line feel free to use the contract page on this site to drop us a note. We love getting email.
