View of the day-Al pulls out of Hamill for the last time this season.
We had the better part of another day to kill until it was time to leave, so we took it pretty easy until around 1:30pm, then we started to pack up our turtle shell...no time to listen to Danny Ismond and the GX94 Radio request show online today. It's a great show to listen to and he plugs the blog when we send in our requests online. Technology...ya gotta love it.
After getting the camper connections all cleaned and coiled up, Al went over and set the shop trailer out on the street for the hookup behind the camper before coming back and snaking his way in to hook up the camper. We pull in to our camping spot and there are two old well holes on either side of the truck and the trees are close enough that there is only one way out...but then we have to back in the same way to hook up again, which we did without any yelling at all...really.
Once the camper is hooked up we switch drivers and Marilyn backs out of the spot...straddling another hole in the ground just right...then goes over to the street where Al guides her back to the shop trailer...the first shot was a hook up...then we were off for Gettysburg.
We stopped in Reliance to check the loads and stopped in at the Case dealer in Highmore to see if our warrantied oil cooler had come in...no such luck and after browsing the toys we left for the last leg of the journey.
We got to Gettysburg, parked the General by the Freightliner then went over to the campground and were pleasantly surprised to see that no one had snuck into our spot overnight. The campground only has five other campers in it and only two of them are harvesters...us being one...and it sounds like we are the only ones who have booked in so far. How things change over the years.
After unhooking the shop on the street, Al guided Marilyn into the lot...with an audience as usual and someone was smiling down on us because it was perfect. While Marilyn got the inside cleaned and set up, Al did the PR thing, chatting with another of our Kansas harvesting friends, then hooking up the shop trailer and parking it in front of the camper for the night.
Being surrounded by trees is a great thing until you try to get satellite signal...not for TV...Al needs his 'conspiracy theory' XM radio shows at night to go to sleep to. Marilyn found enough signal so he can get updated on the fake moon landing anniversary, big foot, chupacabra, and the upcoming alien invasions.
We'll let you know if anything important is covered...
