August 22, 2010


View of the day-Marilyn's rig in the hospital in Minot getting a new tire for the header trailer.

Al was surprised to see Marilyn AIS at 7:30am...half an hour before schedule! We checked everything over and decided the tire on the header trailer had better be watched, it was holding air but looked a little 'sprung' on the top...like the belts were gone or some such thing.

We made pretty good time with a strong wind pushing us...a nice change, and after a pit stop in Wilton to air the tire up...it was down to 20 lbs pressure...we started back on the highway. Marilyn pulled into Max to air the tire up again and it was then that we decided to see if there was anything open in Minot to get a new tire...and there was.

We got in and the guy got the tire changed right away so we were on the road and made Kenmare by 2:30pm. After getting everything parked and fueling up the Dodge, we were heading back to Gettysburg by 3pm.

Marilyn drove to Bismarck so Al could grab a nap, then after stopping for supper at the Great American Steak Buffet, Al took over for the rest of the trip. We got back to Gettysburg around 9:30pm and started to get organized for tomorrow's final trip out of this burg.

Laundry, tear down and a pile of stuff to get ready...
