The tractor cruise

 Cliff was at the shop an hour before departure time, dusting off the tractor.  Never mind that we're in a dust bowl and were going to be traveling over dusty roads for almost two hours.

 Then he and his sister sat there and admired the dustless tractor until time to leave.

 Yes, I did ride like this for forty minutes, until we arrived at Lexington.

 Here we are passing below our daughter's house in our little town.

 Once we met the group in Lexington, I boarded the trolley... formerly a livestock trailer, but now transformed into a people trailer.

 Leaving Lexington.

 Looking back at our group.

 Arriving at Orscheln's in Higginsville.

Yes, we had porta-potties!

This guy was my boss years ago when I worked at the apple orchard.  He is in our tractor club.

 My grand-dog Titan came to see us at the tractor show.

 He brought Heather and Arick, our oldest grandchild, with him.

 No, I am not pregnant.  Why do you ask?

 Here you see most of the club members who were at the show.

Cliff's brother, Phil, was there for awhile with a couple of his many grandchildren.  


Oh, by the way.  Cliff won "Best in Show" with his tractor.


Here's an 18-second sample of what the ride was like from my point of view.
