June 13

View of the day-Storm clouds brewing over Orienta, OK around 2:30pm. A tornado was on the ground later on in the evening in the same area.

Well, we're half-way there. We left Davidson with the combine and header, and got to Carmen, OK around 3pm. We were fortunate enough on the way up with the load to have missed most of the weather, but it was slightly different on the way back to Davidson.


A lot of the fields had been combined on the way north, and many had combines cutting to beat the weather. Wheat prices today were $5.34, so the more they can get off before the hail, the better.

We had a couple of different crews pass us heading north, and on the way back we must have met at least 10 crews, so everyone is on the move.

Once we got to Carmen, we unloaded the combine and headed back to Davidson. We hit a couple of heavy downpours, but by the time we got back to the camper, the sun was shining. It was back into Frederick to do laundry again, and tomorrow we pack everything else up and move to Cherokee.
