View of the day-Marilyn picks up a swath near Gettysburg on the last field of the South Dakota Harvest.
We were on the road early with the header and Freight load...it was an uneventful trip to Sterling, ND, about 140 miles. We saw a few combines loaded in the parking lot when we got there...about 10...and had a chat with a few of the harvesters before having a snack and driving back to Gettysburg. Not a lot of fields left out there to combined and surprisingly while some of the sunflowers are just starting to bloom here, the petals are dropping off the ones in ND.
Once we got back, Al took the General out to the field and started combining while Marilyn got to get the camper cleaned up and ready for the trip north...if that ever happens. Once Al got a truckload, Marilyn went out to drive while he went in to the elevator to dump. They were closed today, but gave Al a number to call so someone would weigh and unload the truck...pretty good of them. He was able to get three loads in before we had to quit...we caught up to the swather again.
We should finish tomorrow and then it will be cleaning and loading time...and bill paying time.
We should get the monthly rate for camping...
