I flew up to NY and drove back down to Duluth with a rented truck filled with stuff. In the last two days I have been in Georgia, Michigan (flight layover), NY, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina It takes about 14 hours to drive the route. Today is unloading day.
