Jill,
I just tried to call you but did not get an answer. I will try again later.

I will try to answer your question about what it going on.
We got everything moved from Virginia. It is amazing how much stuff had accumulated over 15 years! I am now spending some time with my parents in Maryland. I am not sure when I will head west...or even if I will initially even go west. How many chances does one get to travel across the country with NO timelines? I may meander my way across the US of A.
I wonder how many chippers operate bed and breakfasts between here and Las Vegas??
Thanks for inquiring. I will let you know when I begin this journey.
Peace,
Murph
