Getting out of the house

After Maine we headed to West Thompson Lake, Connecticut, Corp. of Engineers park to spend a couple of days and do some paddling. We didn't paddle. There was this little thing called Hanna that brought bad weather. We just got a lot of rain and there was some local flooding that did not affect us. We went looking for fuel to make the trip from Connecticut to PA but the price was at least $.50 higher than Mass. So we drove the 12 or so miles to MA to fill up.

After we left West Thompson Lake we made our next stop at Promise Land State Park in PA. for an over night. The next day we made the last leg home.

Once home it was time to start moving on getting things out of the house. We decided to make a trip to VT to take the other 2 motorcycles and a bunch of tools up to a storage facility there. So we spend a couple of days getting things loaded up and made the 12 hour trip to VT.

We got things unloaded the day after we arrived and headed out to the lot we are buying. We staked out a location for the house. The weather was miserable. We took care of some other errands before heading back to Steins for the night.

The next day we met with our builder and discussed plans and suggested some changes. Then off to Morrisville to Taylors Color World to pick our our flooring. We visited with Jerry and Donna before picking up the Goldwing and trailer to take to storage with the other motorcycles.

The next day we headed home to start empting out the house.

We spend the next several days packing, working around the home inspection, survey, moving sale, repairs that the home inspection turned up. Lindsay was a great help in taking things to the storage unit. Some how we got it all done. We lived in the camper in the drive way for about 5 days before we headed to Lake Anna for our camp host duties.
