We moved stuff from the storage area under the house to the dock... from the dock to the driveway... then combined it with stuff from the cargo trailer... then, into the truck bed. It was a close race, but the Blonde and I tied for the "who can sweat the most" title. Did I mention it was humid??
We heard from the folks who run a storage facility in Anacortes - we snagged a place to leave the boat trailer; the last piece of the puzzle. We should be good to settle in after we make that long, long, long drive.
The big stuff is loaded. We are down to clothes, some food, and cat stuff. Before that happens, we'll start closing down the house.
We took the scoots to our favorite little Mexican restaurant, just off our island. Ran to the Post Office to get a check to the storage place (who doesn't take credit cards these days??)...
That photo is mostly for me, so I'll have something scooterish to look at for the next several months.
With boat/truck stuff out of the cargo trailer, there is lots of room in there for the scooters...
Nope. No way to hook that behind Wild Blue's trailer. Oh, well... we'll be working... this isn't like we're going out there to have fun. ;-)

How come no tall cap and scooters too? Not like you're towing the 5th wheel..or does the hitch in the bed make that impossible?
Hi Charlie. The two scooters take up about 82.7% of the floor space in the truck bed (precision and made up statistics are my strong suit). Even leaving the kayaks and dinghy behind, we need the space... living on the boat for 4 months takes some "support space." Having been through this last year, we know what we need to stock up on, what things are expensive or not easily available on San Juan Island. The 5th wheel hitch comes out of the truck bed, leaving only a couple low profile beams. As much as we are enjoying these scooters, I have to be realistic. I have had suggestions ranging from "Ship them up there," to "Can't you get a trailer that will hold the boat and the scooters?" It's a "fun summer job," not a permanent move... we'll play with the scoots again when we're done in the PNW. I'll have what's essential: the Blonde, little Izzy, Wild Blue (home and entertainment), a guitar, and a computer... well, maybe a few other things, too. ;-)
Best wishes,
Jim
