Al was on the road early with the General to go pick up the combine trailer where we had left it near Kipling. Marilyn had to wait for the trucker to show up for the combine, so they could start for the field near Saltcoats.
Al got the trailer parked where he had planned on our field near Rokeby, then went up to our yard to empty all the "stuff" that had been loaded in the back of the General. Once he had all that done and the truck fueled up, he started back to the field to meet us.
It was raining pretty good at Carlyle while the combine was getting loaded. The driver got it done and with Marilyn and here flashing light to lead the way, we hit the road. Fortunately, we ran out of the rain just north of the Moose Mountain park...and we even managed to see a cow moose in the ditch that was thinking about trying to get across the road. A good blast on the air horn sent here back into the bush.
We were planning on staying one more night in Carlyle, but because we had made such good time...even considering the 45 minute wait for road construction...we decided to pull up stakes and go back to Yorkton. It didn't take long to get everything put away and hooked up...Al had brought the 1/2 ton to pull the shop trailer back, so we each had our own ride.
We got back to our yard around 10pm, pulled the camper up on the lawn, grabbed what we needed in the house and called it a night. We could see that SaskEnergy had trenched a line across our front yard...they had to move a couple of things to get through. They cut through the power lines to our front pillars and didn't hook them back up.
Someone is getting a call tomorrow...
