The whole convoy ready to hit the road

We really had our hearts set on leaving getting out of town on Monday night even though we did not finish everything around the house until around 10pm.  Alas it was not God's plan.  When we arrived at The Home Depot to hook up our car carrier for the pick-up truck it had a huge lock on it and the night staff had no idea how to get it off.  We were thankful to have been offered three places to stay that night.  We chose the one with the garage since all of our valuables were loaded up in the wagon and we certainly did not want to unload them just to put them back in the morning.  Thanks Curtis and Margaret.
Here is the whole set up.  Station wagon with wind surf board strapped on top, 26' penske towing car carrier with '67 Ford F-100. 
The family truckster was packed to the brim.  But Viola did have a plethora of books and toys within reach.
We got on the interstate at approximately 9:30 which was a bit later than our targeted 6 am.
