Moving Trip (Part 2) - Day 6
Got up at 0530 and finished packing my car. I cleaned up the apartment one more time and then left Kingstowne in my (overloaded) Subaru at 0630. Drove north on I-495, I-270, US-15, I-581, I-83 and I-81. Made/Received work calls on the way... Stopped for a break near intersection of I-80 and then continued north on I-81 until I reached Binghamton (NY). Switched to I-88 and headed towards Albany. Made more work calls during this section. Was glad to see that the free toll was still available at I-90... Using Google Maps, I quickly exited the Interstate at I-890 and followed it to NY-7. Continued on that route (with a short time on I-787) until I crossed the Hudson at Troy. Got gas at Sunoco in Hoosick Falls (NY) at 1405 and then took VT-279 to drive around Bennington. Then got on VT-9 to cross the mountains. Had some slow traffic (eventually got around it) and intermittent rain but things were going OK until I got really close to Brattleboro - suddenly, there was a detour! There was no warning about how we all needed to exit the road and take a dirt road into the mountains - all to avoid "something" (never learned what it was). Once I got back on VT-9, I made it to I-91 easily and then drove north. Had to take more work calls during this stretch in Vermont... Got on I-89 and took it to Lebanon. I arrived at my house at around 1615 and started my telework immediately. Unpacked later in the evening - whew. I'm happy to say that my move is finally complete!
