View of the day-The berm around the CaseIH dealer in Minot, ND is starting to come down, now that the water has receded.
We got up early, had coffee with Kim and Marg, then headed for the border at Northgate. Mr. Happy was at the gate, and lived up to his name by quizzing us, checking a bag or two, grilling us on the size of the slip tank, then telling us to have a great day.
We stopped in Minot at the Happy Panda for Chinese buffet and timed it just right…early enough to beat the rush and get in on the fresh food. After lunch we forged on, taking the round about way to Bismarck…via Pingree…so we could check out the crop over there. We got to see the aftermath of the flooding around Minot…it’s going to take a lot of recovery.
We drove down to Pingree, stopped in at the 281 Stop to check out the campground…we will be the only ones in there tomorrow, so we will get the choic
e spot…then started back to Sterling. We decided that we would go down to Hazelton and get the Freightliner load moved up to Sterling along with the header, then tomorrow morning the Freight would get moved to Wilton to wait for the Friday trip to Carlyle. We then decided we might as well get the header closer to Pingree and since Danny, the farmer, works out of Medina, right along the interstate, we took it to his workplace and left it there for him to move to Pingree tomorrow.
After dropping it off, we stopped for an ice cream at the Dairy Treat, then forged back to the camper at Sterling. Over 500 miles today.
Meanwhile, tomorrow we will move the Freight, then go back to Hazelton to get the General and combine, then Marilyn will hook up the camper on the way back through Sterling.
At least that is the plan…
