day 54 - Anchorage

Wednesday July 26 – day 54 –Anchorage

Woke early again, thinking about all the stuff we need to get done today to prep for launch on Friday:

·         Laundry

·         Clean camper for turnover to new owners

·         Donate clothes, misc gear to Salvation Army and/or Boy Scouts

·         Rent a car and pick it up

·         Meet with a potential truck buyer

·         Sell off camper to buyer this evening

If we can get ALL that stuff done effectively, maybe tomorrow can be a “fun” day. Today is all about production.  L

Deanna and I went and met with a guy named Joe who is a full time car salesman and part time preacher.  That seemed an odd combination, but he was a good guy, and agreed to buy the truck.  We’ll deliver it tomorrow to his firm, Harvest Motors. He’s up in Palmer/Wasilla area, and is also affiliated with a thrift store called Thrifters Rock.

We spent most of the day sorting our stuff, and trying to re-pack/re-organize all our gear into keep, sell, donate piles.  More folks came by and bought some of our gear. 

Amanda met some new friends at our Air BnB house :-)

Later in the evening, the camper buyers came by and paid off the balance on the camper and took it home. I hope they make as many memories as we did in the camper.  It really ended up being a good camper to us.  I was sad to see it roll out of the driveway, but wasn’t that sad to have the additional cash in my pocket….
