West.
August 10, 2011 in photography, travel
In July we sold nearly all we owned and packed up the rest out of a three bedroom farmhouse in Montpelier, Vermont and put it in a tiny U-Haul trailer which we hauled across the United States with our dog to start a new life in Portland, Oregon. Where it isn’t winter for six months out of the year. And the gigs are more plentiful.
I’ve lived in Vermont off and on since 1991, with some travels elsewhere, but for lots of reasons, I stayed long after I knew I was ready to move on. But that’s another story for another time.
My man Dan Haley was a fixture in PDX back in the day, so it was a natural place to head off to, as I wanted to be somewhere on the best – I mean west – coast. Here is a little snapshot of the travels.
Everything we own fits in a 10' trailer.
WE'RE READY!!
Goodbye Montpelier!
