Hiking 1:00:00 [3] 3.5 mi (17:09 / mi)
An enjoyable hike on the C&O Canal at Shepherdstown, WV, a brief stopover on my way out west...finally!
I spent all day Wednesday getting packed up by the movers. By the end of the day, there was nothing left unpacked in my house other than my bed. The loaders showed up the next morning to put everything on the truck. All three of the loaders started out the day, after taking an inventory of the house, by saying that it should be a quick load and not take up even half of the truck. As the day wore on, they kept extending their time estimations, and their guesses on how much of the truck would be filled. Well, by the end of the day, 11 hours later, I was shining my car headlights on the truck so the movers could see what they were doing. And, it took all of their muscle power to push my last items in the truck so they could manage to close the back roll-down door. Not at all good guessers!
This home sale was quite different from when I sold my house in Virginia, when I had a contract within 3 days of going on the market and was out of the house within a month. This time, it took 3 months to get a contract and 5 months to finally be out of the house. But at least I'm out and on my way to Denver, with a slight detour through Laramie for a few days. My time in New Jersey wasn't all bad, but I have absolutely no plans on ever living there again. I just did not fit in well. I am very excited, though, for the start of this next phase. I think it's going to be a fun one.
