August 1, 2012

View of the day-Al moves the combine past a field of blooming sunflowers.


We got the camper ready to hook up, then went south to the farm to get the General and its load.  When we got to town with it, we parked across from the campground then went and got the camper hooked up.  No sense hauling it all the way out to the farm and back.


The trip up was uneventful...all the rain missed us.  We got to Menoken, parked the General at the old school yard, then went to get the camper parked at the RV park.  After a good gab with the camp hosts, we went back out to unload the combine and unhook the shop trailer.  Once we got that done, we hooked the combine trailer up to the General again, then drove four miles out to the farm yard.

There wasn't enough room to maneuver at the yard, so that is why we decided to unload the rigs and road them out.  After the combine and shop were out, we took the General and found a spot to park it...then it was back over to Sterling to get the Freightliner and header.



We got them back to the school yard, unloaded the tractor and cart, but this time we were able to park the Freight and its trimmings in town.  Al talked to someone who was good enough to let us leave it parked at his place and since we wouldn't be needing the Freight, it stayed hooked up.


We took the tractor and cart out to the wheat field, then called it a day.  Well, Al did, at least.  Marilyn got the dish aimed, got cleaned up, then went into Bismarck to get some groceries.


A late night after getting everything put away...
