Saturday September 20th - Left at daybreak for Hydro Oklahoma. One of Duane's trucks had trouble so it was just 3 house trailers and one semi, so we made good time. Arrived at about 6 pm, total miles from Hamer Idaho was 1300. It was fun coming back through alot of the towns we spent time working in.

Sunday September 21st - Daune's guys wanted to wait till he got back, so we didn't leave for Nebraska till about 830 that night. Kurk drove all night up to Seward NE which was about 500 miles. The other two of us slept so we could drive in the morning.

Monday September 22nd - Left Seward NE at daybreak and ran hard all day to some town, that I can't remember how to spell, just east of Chicago IL. I was driving the 53 ft with the tractor and grain cart. the only other truck left to go home was one with a combine. They were both 12 ft wide. It was interesting coming through Chicago with a wide load.

Tuesday September 23rd - Left at daybreak again. Hoped to make it home but got about an hour away when it got dark on us, so we parked the trucks and drove the pickup home. It was really fun coming back into PA and starting to reconize places and seeing the tomato trucks rolling on 11-15. The corn also got just a bit bigger since I last saw it peaking through the ground. The smells of hogs, cows, and chickens also remined us that we really were back home. I got back on the Charles Farm around 9 pm.

Well now that my journey has come to an end I want to thank all of you for following along as I ran around in the huge western part of our country. It was a great expirence seeing how farmers farm in the different areas we worked in. Hopfully I provided a little window for you all to look through to see what life is like on the wheat harvest.
