Yep, that was us. We couldn't believe that it had come to this. We know we've come along way with how we manage situations like this, because instead of our usual panic and feeling sorry for ourselves, we just rolled with it and focused on the positives, like enjoying having a radio and not having to yell at each other to hear over the noise of the truck.
We were on a mission - we had three days to get home and return the u-haul. We absolutely hate having deadlines like this. If it wasn't for the diff breaking, we would still be in British Columbia visiting Justins family. (Sorry guys, we really wanted to come visit.)

We wondered how Canadian customs was going to treat us on our re-entry into Canada. Usually we get grilled pretty hard, but happy to say they only asked us a few questions (and not the right ones) and welcomed us back into Canada with a smile.
There's not much more to say other than it was a very intense drive through the Rocky Mountains. Rain, snow, black ice, deeper snow and then even deeper snow on unplowed roads and on summer tires. It was difficult to keep both the truck and trailer on the road. Not an experience we ever want to repeat. We would drive through Guatemala twenty times over before ever doing that again.
But we made it. We're home. 364 days.
One more post to come, to tie everything up. Lots of numbers, costs, bests, worsts and a little bit of this and a little bit of that....
