Carter and Nick flew up tot Buffalo late Sunday night on 2/22/26, arriving safely at Buffalo Niagra International Airport at 2:00 in the morning Monday, February 23rd, following an extended delay in Charlotte involving a broken sink and a faulty emergency exit. After a brief night’s rest, they left to grab the 15-foot U-Haul at 6:30 AM and drove south for Ellicottville in the pouring snow. Working with the incredible Frank Hoerner, they were able to pack the truck full of red oak saplings and were back on the road for Charlottesville at 12:30 PM. Stopping only once at a Sheets in Ridgeway, PA, they made it back around 8:30pm without a single problem!
