We're Mainers now!

We made it to Maine on Monday, August 6, after three days of driving from Minnesota. Both Ben's and my mom drove with us so that we had two drivers each for the moving truck and the car. Abrahm and Cooper (the dog) travelled well, but we're all glad to be here and give up the confinement of the vehicles. Our belongings are stored in various places; the biggest challenge is remembering what we've stored where.

We've been working on details for installing electric service, septic system, phone, etc. We also split 3 cords of firewood in the last 2 days. We're looking forward to putting up the yurt - we start tomorrow. We'll post photos of the process as it evolves.

I'm posting a photo of the land, taken last November. It gives a little bit of a sense of what the terrain looks like. Also, a photo to commemorate the moving truck, which we hope not to have to use again for a LONG time!

PS - the computer doesn't seem to want to upload photos at the moment, so I'll try again later.
