Finally after two years of purging and a few setbacks in getting our home sold we closed today at 10 a.m Rocky Mountain Daylight time.We are finally" houseless but not homeless"( plagiarized from elsewhere on the forum). We are at this moment parked at Linda's Sister and Brother -in -Laws Farm for a week so we can complete all the necessary paperwork to get on the road and close out this chapter in our lives.The next chapter will be a dream come true that has been 5 years in the makings. To all out there who are working toward the ultimate goal , hang in there, it will happen.Some times, as we had to do, you have to be creative in reaching the goal and I will post in a couple days about that but for now all we want to do is sleep for a couple of days

Congratulations, George and Linda,
I'm sure by now you've felt a big load slip off of your shoulders.
It just gets better from here, so rest up and finish those last details. Then you can "hit the road".
We'll be watching for you,
Jim and Linda

WhooHoo! & Congrats Linda & George,
Were just into the purging stage and probably a year behind you, but it is always encouraging when fellow dreamers get their "wheels" pinned on.

I am so happy for you. I know how frustrating selling your house has been. We have had similar experiences. Our house is set to close on May 21. It looks like it will really happen this time.
Best wishes to you as you hit the road. Hopefully, we'll run into you some time.

We would like to thank all who responded.As luck would have it we have been socked in by a Colorado spring storm with extreme amounts of rain and high winds( had to pull slides in last night to be safe).Weather is supposed to start clearing somewhat this evening. We have pretty much wrapped up all we can locally and are now planning our next move.Plans are to head for Grand Junction, Colorado for a couple days so I can visit the new Car museum in Gateway Colorado then head towards Utah for however many days feels good then Go to the Grand Canyon for a few days. After that we will go to Vegas for a couple days then meander into California and use the 101 highway as a path North eventually ending up in McMinnville, Oregon the end of July.Who knows after that.Probably will be a lot of zig zagging involved.Hope to run into some of you out there in our travels.
