The second part of the three (really four) part move was to get Jennifer's bed (full) from her parents house in Danville over to her apartment in Walnut Creek since I was going to be taking my bed (queen) to my new place in Alameda. The only really mystery here was to find out if the mattress would fit in the back of my Subaru.

When we drove down to Danville after work it the fog had rolled in over the mountains from the bay and it was socked in so thick we couldn't see more than 50 feet in front of us which made navigating to their house up winding roads in the foothills a real treat. We grabbed the bed out of the storage in the back and jammed into my car. It just barely fit which was a good thing because the mattress was slightly longer than the back of my car so it stuck out about a foot, but since it was squeezed in there so tight, it wasn't going anywhere. With the help of Jennifer's mom, an knot tying expert, we tied down the tailgate just in case and hit the curvy backroads up to Walnut Creek.

We just went slow and took it easy and it turned out to be a piece of cake. It was far easier than the first day of moving. I even found a gas station (Rotten Robbie's) where I filled my tank for less than 2 bucks a gallon, something that hasn't happened for at least 6 months.
