Return trip along bike trail on levee. 20.8 miles
Two Freighters
Museum District in Kenner, LA
Made it!
Moving things from one storage unit to another. This load was some chairs and a table, winter clothes, shoes, Monopoly games and hangers. It rained on my way back and soaked the moving blankets making them very heavy. Note to self: bring a tarp.
More Moving Equipment Arrives
Just arrived:
Four more moving blankets (So many uses when moving)
Package of 26 inch long rubber bands (Used to keep moving blankets in place when wrapped around item being moved)
A canvas bag to more easily carry and protect mattresses.
More Stuff Going Into Storage
Well...... Not everything went into storage. The rose plant is now enjoying the outside at my new place. Taken in front of the almost ready St. Roch Market.
More stuff for storage. Taken in front of One Eyed Jacks
Moving Bikes With Bike

Mostly bedding with bar ware, wine rack and wine, plants and grill, plant stand, vacuum, broom and tire pump.
The Trailer Arrives
I caught the UPS driver as I was loaded up and on my way with a load with my small trailer on Wednesday. He was only two blocks away so I took delivery then and there. I locked up my bike and carried the boxes (there were only two) back to my old place. Then it was off to deliver my load to my new place, unload and unpack and return to put the new trailer together.
One trailer in two boxes
Very well packed
The parts all laid out
Section with axel assembled
The other two sections assembled and joined to the axel section.
At this point one of my neighbors needed help moving so I pitched in. I had to go to work so the rest of the assembly had to wait. I forgot my camera the next day and so I have no record of the final assembly,
I am very impressed with this trailer. It is a work of art. It all fit together so well. The people at Bikes At Work make quality stuff.
The Move Begins
Route I am taking to move
My new apartment was ready to move in today and I made my first trip moving some stuff there. I am using a Schwinn trailer that cannot carry much but until the big trailer comes, it is all I have.
Route I am taking to move.

Trailer Ordered
Ordered a trailer today (8-13-13) that can cary up to 600 pounds. Problem is the manufacturer is backed up and it will not ship until the end of the month. I wanted to use it to move my own things to my new place but the trailer will not be here in time for that.
