Don, when we moved from Phoenix to Solsberry, a family of four in the same house for 14 years, we had accumulated a LOT of stuff. We had a massive yard sale/giveaway but still ended up taking up 2/3's of a semi trailer for the move. 
I should have listened to your wisdom before we moved up here. Tired of being compressed and oppressed by size restrictions in Phoenix, and facing a much better real estate market in Indiana, we did quite the opposite. We upsized... a lot. Bucket list item I guess. We've always wanted a big huge house where we're not tripping over each other and everybody has room to spread out. We love it and are enjoying it immensely but we are also already talking about downsizing in about 10 years when both boys move out and head off to college.
Yesterday I took my visiting family to Marengo Caverns for the day and enjoyed the constant 52 degrees of being underground for a couple hours. Beautiful caverns! You have to make sure to dodge all the Amish buggies between Bedford and Paoli! Today, I think we will visit Spring Mills, a living history museum near Bedford, IN and, if we have time, Blue Springs Caverns with lunch at Smokin' Jim's BBQ Steakhouse.
By the way, when was the last time you heard from Woodone? I lost his contact info somwhere between here and Arizona.
