92 Green YJ
General Lee Jeep
Well I can officially say we are 99% packed, loaded and ready to hit the road.
While the wife and the kids went to spend the afternoon and night at a hotel with my in laws as one last hurrah before we leave, I stayed behind to finish up. Got the house almost completely emptied out and cleaned, swept, and steam mopped. Only things left are the fire safe, cable modem and router, and some stuff in the bathroom. All of which will be packed up into the RV or the wife’s car Tuesday morning.
finished loading the stuff I’m taking to the dump on the Carson 16’ flatbed and got it all strapped down and secured. Somehow managed to find space for the deluge of crap I suddenly found piled into the RV. Finished the last load of laundry and got the last few things loaded up on the trailer and strapped in.
So tomorow is another busy day. ABF trailer is being picked up first thing in the morning. Once that goes bye bye I will hitch up the Carson to the Ram and make my dump run. Get rid of all the old mattresses and the rest of the old busted furniture and crap on it. Bring the trailer back and drop it. Go gas up the truck and run it thru the car wash before I go drop it off at my Moms place so she and her husband can load their stuff for the trip and Mac can familiarize himself with the truck. Buyers are due at 2:30 for the final walk thru. I’m going to take the cover off the YJ and probably go ahead and get it secured to the trailer and ready for travel. Probably do one last tire pressure check on everything for good measure, check the lugs on the trailers, etc.
Tuesday morning we hit the road. So I think from here on I’ll go ahead and do daily updates so those who are interested can follow along on the adventure.
oh yeah edit: I’m sore as fuck and exhausted after the last two days. Today I somehow managed to slip and bang both of my knees on shit at different times. Then like a dumbass when I pulled the car seats from the truck I fucking walked right into the open slide on the RV and gave myself a nice little lump on my forehead. Now chilling in the RV with the cats with the AC on full blast, drinking a cold beer, and watching Maine Cabin Masters.
