Hi all,
I'll be moving from L.A. to Illinois (2 hours south of Chicago) for grad school in about 2 months. I'm trying to digitize and/or jettison stuff as much as I can before then, but I will almost certainly still have a good amount of very important papers, photos, etc. that I'll have to bring with me in their original physical format.

I'll be driving a U-Haul the whole 2,000 miles, maybe making it like a 3-day trip. My concern is that I may be driving through some rain on the way, or at least a bunch of moisture overnight, and the U-Haul will be far from airtight, I'm sure.

So what are some good ways to try and protect my most important paper artifacts from the moisture (and temp cahnges? will be driving thru desert after all)?

I've got two big plastic rubbermaid storage bins, but they're not airtight. I have too many papers to, say, put them all in big ziploc bags. Maybe airtight's not the answer anyway? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
