Central Dakota Steam Threshers Reunion

Today we drove to New Rockford, North Dakota to see   steam engines and a demonstration of threshing grain. It was very impressive.  I have never seen this many running steam engines at one time before.  There was an operating saw mill and a corn shucking mill.  There was a washing machine demonstration including a wash board.  Lots of old tractors and old time farm equipment.

We have spent the last few days in Jamestown, ND visiting our granddaughter Brittany. She lives and works here in Jamestown. I was going to take a picture of her but she got away before I could.  I’ll get a picture next time.  But here is a picture of her holding this buffalo up.  Jamestown is known for having the largest buffalo.  There are 3 albino buffalo located here tho we have not been lucky enough to see them.

  1. Glad you made it back to the "Outside" OK. We're on our way now and are in Stewart, BC for a couple days to see if we can finally see some BEARS. Came down the Cassiar after it had rained for two days. Guess we don't have to tell you what the truck and trailer look like!!! Will we ever get them clean?
