Mon Jun 18 - Another very early start today - wanting to avoid the 100+ degree heat, since we still don't have working AC in the car. Just as we got onto Highway 50, there was a pickup truck with something in its bed on fire - six foot flames were shooting into the air as we drove by - fortunately there were fire trucks, etc. on site, and we got past before there were any explosions.
We made good time down Interstate 5, stopping for lunch at Len's sister's house. We got to Claremont Lincoln housing office in time to get the keys to our apartment. The housing coordinator ("innkeeper") was amused when we asked her if we could take her picture with Lil' BC and our hearthstone. We explained all about 'resetting' our hearthstone to our new home.
Finally, we got to see what our new apartment looks like. It's even nicer than the one we saw before. We've set up delivery and connection of services, starting Wednesday, so tomorrow will be a day of rest. We drove out to the timeshare in Palm Desert, where we'll be staying until our furniture gets set up. After nearly 4500 miles - the Migration has been accomplished - just a bit more time to settle in.
