Getting Ready, part 2

Before we left on Paul and Annie's Excellent Cross-Country Tour, we measured the car and all of our boxes and bags. Paul had the idea to use some of those ubiquitous purple plastic bins for our clothes, food, and other supplies. It solves the problem of fitting oddly-shaped pieces of luggage into the car, and we can easily cart them into our hotel room because we'll be staying in places with carts and elevators (see the previous entry for my mini-tirade about motels). In the meantime, our pared-down to-do list magically doubled in size, to include "haircut," "shower caddy," and "buy plastic bins."
Our cargo can be broken down into three categories:
1) Things that Make Noise (Musical Equipment)
2) Things That Stack (clothing bins, food bin, wine bin, other supplies)
3) Things That Hang (garment bags, shower caddies, Bag O'Pillows)

If it does anything else, we don't need it.

We're ready!

Could you stay in the basement? The trains aren't quite as loud down there at night.

What trip milepost will Winnemucca be on your adventure?

We will drive into Winnemucca, with any luck, somewhere between mile 4700 and mile 5100 of this tour. We're taking bets on whether one of us or the car conks out first! But we'll be there.
