This week Mountain House was turned over to it's new owners.  As much as I enjoyed living in my own rocky mountain park setting, it was time to move on. 

Needless to say this week was a bit hectic.  I did take the "easy" way out and hire professional packers, movers, and a cleaning crew.   Things could not have went any better.  The weather was perfect, the crews were polite, careful and speedy.  No drama, not even a little bit.  Unless you count cleaning supplies.  I knew, and forgot, that movers will not pack or move anything that could start or feed a fire, this includes cleaning supplies, candles, fire extinguishers, matches, shampoo, soft soap, etc.  Do a quick survey of your house, do you have any idea how much of this stuff you actually own?   Way way more than you might imagine.

This means I had to pack and load all this into my car, and drive to my house,  rolling along,  wondering if I have the makings of a homemade bomb in my car.  Who knows what happens if my face cream interacts with Mr. Clean and a candle?

Most of my stuff is in a locked long term storage vault until it's time to be somewhere more permanent.  The dogs and I are settled nicely into the miniature rental house in Boulder so there wasn't room for the Mountain House stuff.  I think I managed to pull all my gear out so I should be in good shape for hiking, backpacking, and triathlons until I get settled.

 Moving on, and it feels great!
