OK, I finally made it to my destination, Winthrop Maine. Its a small town in central Maine located between Lewiston and Augusta. Here are some totals for the excursion.
Miles driven in the rental truck - 2,980
Rental Truck - $1500
Hotels - $320
Gas - $580
Food - $100 (I ate cheap)
Highway Tolls - $100
Having a moving company do it for me would have cost nearly $2,800 plus I would have had to drive the car across country. One third the gas, hotels are the same and food is the same. So over all not all that bad.
I did get to visit with my great nephew Joel along the way in Indiana as well as my three nieces in Cleveland.
Once I got back to Maine, it was unload the truck into storage, return it the next day and then head up to the cabin in Northwest Maine with my father and some friends. We got some needed work done on the cabin and relaxed a little. We didn't get a chance to fish at all due to the heavy winds all weekend.
I started the job search this morning, the area I am looking in is from Augusta Maine to the greater Boston area... should be interesting to find out what is available....
That is it for now... look for more later.
