Packing Day

 I woke up at 6:30 this morning, but laid back down and rested till 7:30.  It is sprinkling outside now and it rained quite a bit last night.

Moved the Jeep up close to the door early this morning and while drinking coffee and eating breakfast, I started packing everything I'm planning to take home with me.

Then I cleaned out the Jeep, and prepared it for the stuff, I had packed.

It was very cloudy this morning and raining off and on.  Had to stop loading several times due to the rain.

I was surprised how much room I had in the Jeep.  Lisa helped me yesterday to remove the back seat.  I will leave it in the White Lion, till I return.
I placed all the boxes in first and made a good foundation for my shirts, pants and jackets and the soft stuff like bags of underwear and my many hats.
Yuma won't be sleeping back there.  He has his own passenger seat to lie down on.  I was surprised at how quickly things went and I was done in the early afternoon.  

I still have things to add, but will do that Friday morning, when I'm ready to leave.  I made a list of everything I wanted to take, so will check it off before leaving.

Tonight, I will have my last pork chop, potatoes and corn.  My fridge is practically empty, so not much waste.  Also, tonight is Survivor.

Thanks for stopping by.

    With the rear seat out, it's like a pickup truck! Safe Travels!

    Amazing how much we can pack into what seems like a small space. We have our whole household in ours!

    Good for you for taking out the back seat. Lots more room until you come back. Hopefully to good news on the WL without spending too much $$.

      Thanks, Shirley. Me too on the money. Looking back, I should never have sold the Miss Adventure.

    Yes, once the back seat is out of those Wranglers it is like a little enclosed pick-up truck. You are so fortunate that you can drive straight homw without having to cross a border into another country. And in Illinois your Spring will definitely be well ahead of our Spring. It's always sad leaving the southwest but it's always great to get home again too. And I hope you guys get home without any incidents.

      Thanks, Al. I'm hoping for an early spring for both of us. Been a rather cool winter this year and I'm ready to head for home. Been 5 months.
