We're leaving!

This has been an unbeliveable few days...who would have thunk that less than a week ago, the truck had no engine and now here we are setting off for New York?  Jim has worked in gross weather and horribly long hours to get the truck in good shape.  Even yesterday, I was off buying compression hoses and he was working on the lighting harness.

Mike came over in the afternoon and we stuffed the truck!  We are also taking the little Honda - we will leave it there and also drive it around while we are there.  I'm so excited...off we go!!!

Just starting on the trip...this will be my view for lots of miles to come!

It's almost noon and we are in PA. The truck is doing great! Such a relief so far. Jim is able to do around 60 mph with the truck fully loaded. Truck also seems to be getting around 11 mpg which isn't bad - again we're fully loaded.
 

If you look closely, the truck is crossing the state line from PA to NY!
We got in about 8:00 and we're truly giddy to not only be back here but to know after all the craziness and ups and downs of this week with the truck, we got here safely and without incident.

We went to Applebee's for dinner to celebrate!!  Tomorrow will be a full day of seeing the land, finding a storage unit, and looking at apartments.
