Moving day part three and final.

We spent the next day in Coffeyville. I put up an extra ceiling fan in a bedroom and we rode bikes downtown and had lunch and rode around town.

We got back and decided to leave for Eau Claire the next morning. We got to Iowa and my debit card would not work. I carried enough cash to fill the tank and off we went to Beeds Lake State Park. We cooked a simple dinner over a fire and swam in the lake. We got to roomie’s town and unloaded his stuff and spent the next two days meeting with his family.

By the time I got ready to turn in the Uhaul and catch the bus from Eau Claire to Coffeyville, roomier had found a job and a place to rent. I had to fill the Uhaul, get a cab ride to the terminal, and wait a couple of hours. The bus ride was long, slow but uneventful. My house was a mile and a half from the bus stop, but at least the walk was early in the morning. I got home and checked the receipts and figured the City of Phoenix paid all my moving expenses except my last tank of gas and the bus ticket home.
