Rolling Out of Faulkton, SD
The crew was split up yesterday, two combines being sent to Hallock Minnesota. Ron and I will be taking our trucks and the two remaining combines North-West to Canada, about 300 miles north of the boarder in Saskatchewan. I'm pretty excited about the prospect of going to a different country.
I've been wanting to get a video of the crew on the move for a while. Scuba, Andrew, Christian, Ron and I are staying in town for a couple of days before we leave, so I ran up the road a bit and got my video. Lars and I swapped trucks before the boys left, which I was a bit pissed about. His truck is a newer and more comfortable 2005 Columbia Frieghtliner but it doesn't have the character or rumble of 'number six', a 2000 model.
Lars and #6 roll out first, followed by Timmy in #9, both hauling combines and grain trailers. Paul is in the third truck blearing his horn, towing the grain cart. Turkey comes by forth, towing the 8-bed bunkhouse. And Dan is bringing up the rear in the service truck, towing the two headers (the things on the front that cut the wheat!).

So what do you think of your experiences so far? I grew up in Kittson County, Minnesota, where your other crew went (Hallock) and just found you by accident. What has surprised you?
