View of the day-The loads from Cherokee, OK to Great Bend, Kansas.Well we made it to Great Bend. We left with the first load of General, combine and header, at 8am and made Great Bend by noon. We had to drop the combine off at the Case IH dealer, and what a surprise...a Sunday, the service manager was working and there must have been four or five mechanics working on equipment! Did we mention it was SUNDAY??! It may cost a bit, but at least it is getting the repair needed so we can roll tomorrow...oh, and we probably don't have to pay the $10 after hours service call fee either...rant off.
We had a quick lunch and headed back to Cherokee to get the second load of Freightliner, tractor/grain cart and camper. Once everything was packed where it belonged, we hooked the shop trailer behind the camper and we were on out way out of Oklahoma by 5:15.
These water towers are in Pratt, KS...just couldn't resist...
We got to Great Bend right at 8pm and left the rig and the shop trailer on an empty lot and nestled the camper in to it's cozy spot at the Finer Mobil home park. Marilyn was a bit concerned the camper wouldn't maneuver into the spot on such a narrow street, but with the hand held radio to direct Al into the lot, it was accomplished without a discouraging word being uttered. We are half settled in and are getting calls from northern Kansas for more work, it could get hairy.
No internet at the campground yet, so it's off to the motel down the street to get signal to send this off...
