Well I made it to Colorado safely! 221$ for 1124 miles.
The "stranger" I paid to tow my stuff out was a really nice guy slow with the driving but nice, The rideshare person that found me on Craigslist ended up buying me 75$ in gas and he mostly rode with the guy driving the truck and trailer since he was a non smoker and me and my friend weren't. He's the one that made it possible for us to drive straight through too!
It was a 24 hour trip. We loaded the trailer at about 9 9:30 in LA and got it 1124 miles and unloaded and I was pulling in to my boyfriends house at 9:30 am the next morning.
All 3 mantids made it alive (I lost over 10 manti in the 2 weeks before the move due to bad sheds and renegade attack crickets)
My cat didn't eat, drink, or even go the bathroom the whole time, but I figured he wouldn't, he was too afraid I would leave him at a random truck stop.
So far Colorado is hot and dry, we've had a random rainstorm / thunderstorm that flooded the streets (but theyre used to them) and small town life is already making me stir crazy. But Ive found 6 wild mantids without even looking, The lake still has water and the jet ski is fixed so were having a blast on the weekends, and the soon to be step daughter and I are getting along great. So I guess it all evens out, and all ends well.
(I would have updated you sooner Hibiscus but Im a complete dork and didnt remember the website was under .net until today, I've been trying .com, .org every variation I could until tonight!! lol )
