This whole adventure began a week ago, which started with dashing to San
Francisco Airport (SFO) immediately after sunrise Sunday (CQ 160 Contest) to
catch a flight to Boston.  After spending a brief evening with K1ZM (Dad) and
family at their home QTH on Cape Cod, the normally 17 hour drive to Prince
Edward Island (PEI) began.

17 hours...I wish.  After fighting a transition from rain, freezing rain, sleet
and snow through MA, NH, ME, New Brunswick and PEI, we finally arrived after 22
hours.  We then were greeted with 3 feet of snow at the foot of the driveway,
which prevented us from parking.  After another two hours of shoveling, we were
ready to park the car off the road.  We then had to navigate the 1 mile walk
down the lane way to the house and retrieve the snow mobile (ski doo) and bring
our provisions down from the car.  The walk took well over an hour with a base
snow depth of 3+ feet and 10 foot snow drifts (REALLY).  Did I mention the
balmy  -15C temperature and 40mph+ light breeze?  Remember, I live in the SF
Bay Area.  Unreal!!!!!

After getting established and catching up on some rest, my Dad spent time with
me going over the station and, to his credit, had everything working great.  I
was ready...yeah right.  As far as contesting goes, I did CA CQP and the CQ
