We left the camper at 9am and went out to the farm to get the Freightliner started, then hooked up the straight header to the Dodge. After doing our circle checks to make sure everything was working, we struck out for the road north.
It was an uneventful trip, not a breath of wind, but crazy traffic...fortunately, we had four lane highway for 120 miles. Marilyn thought we must be in Canada already, because all the vehicles that were passing us had Saskatchewan licence plates. There were lots of combines in the fields as we drove along and we even saw a huge field of standing canola that a couple of combines were just getting started on...and one that had been standing, but the wind had completely flattened it. Someone is going to have a time of it.
We made Kenmare around 2pm, got the rigs parked, then headed back for Menoken. We stopped in Minot for a late lunch, then we were off again. We made it back to the camper in plenty of time for Al to watch his CFL Riders game...which, apparently, was an embarrassment. Marilyn went into Bismarck for her last shopping trip before crossing the border.
Hopefully we get one load across the border tomorrow...
