Seibert, Colorado

We arrived yesterday afternoon in Seibert Colorado just in front of the thunderstorms.  We ended up with three quarters of an inch of rain, lots of lightening and a little bit of hail. It also resulted in a real red sunset.

This is the last of the sunset.

I also arrived with a group of the harvesters. These guys are from Texas and start in the south and gradually work their way to the north as the crops ripen. They bring all the equipment with them including the combines. Because there are so many in a crew they travel in custom bunkhouse trailers. 

Here's one of their bunkhouse rigs. 53' foot of  living space.

The other event yesterday was the awarding the state of Oklahoma the award for one of the worst roads in America. The trip through Oklahoma on US287/US385 is just a bit over 50 miles, but for the third time in as many years it has loosened my overhead light and caused it to fall. The light was checked previous to entering Oklahoma was secure. This light has been all over the country and the only place it has ever broken loose is in Oklahoma. With this in mind I officially designate US287/US38 a rotten road.

Here is the damage done.

I used this morning to run the vacuum and clean up the inside. I haven't done anything with all the repair work going on and it was time . I was sort of holding out for the maid to show up, but once again was disappointed. The afternoon will be spent watching the Cardinal game and catching my breath a bit before heading on to Hannibal. In short we'll just be enjoying the good life.
