Arrived, Unloading, Organizing
Good morning from Rochester! We did it! The final push turned out to be less than 4 hour’s drive. We were ready to be done. Our unload goal was primarily focused on getting to the bed and getting it out of the truck. We did that and much more. The bed has been reconstructed and […]
1AM Pacific Time Wake-Up Call
La Quinta was gorgeous for us last night. New, clean, comfy and sound suppressed. Yesterday was a long drive and we were really needing some pampering. We lucked out and were told we could park up front, rock star style. This was great until 3AM local time when the front desk phoned asking for the […]
4 States, A Mountain Range, and Connections
In Texas we crossed the Chisholm Trail before we landed in Claremore, Oklahoma last night. Day 4 had us traveling through four states: Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and we’ve landed in Indiana.

We saw more of […]

BAD Roads, Diesel Splash, Cursed at by a Trucker, All it had at 30MPH
Day 1 started with a final push, and sometimes shove, at 5AM, with a final load of the last pieces of furniture and a final clean up of the house. Rowdy’s Mom came by to wave goodbye and pitched in helping us to clean up. We loaded “Percy” onto the car carrier and took off […]
Pack, Donate, Logistics
We are making progress today, as we have only today and tomorrow for the box appropriate items. I hope that todays 3rd trip to the charity shop will be the last. Sunday is major furniture, including getting the king-sized bed down the stairs. Logistics for the space is a real thing. Like moving the car […]
