It was great to visit with Don but I had to leave so I could make it to the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion at Rollag, Minnesota, on Labor Day weekend. I have always enjoyed this show ever since the first time I attended in 1990. I helped on Danny Roen's 1910 110 HP Case which was on the Briden -Roen sawmill. The 110 powers the 66 inch saw blade and an 80 HP Skid engine powers the cut off saws and other machinery apart from the main saw. It was an enjoyable four-day show once again.

Now it was time to finally head back to Pennsylvania. I surely did not want to leave Minnesota or Montana, but wait! The Tri-State Steam Show in Finleyville, Pennsylvania, is only three days away. So by the time I got home and did three weeks worth of laundry, it was time to go to Finleyville and run the steam engines there. And the best part of all was that Austin and Mildred Monk and Carl and Martha Mehmke were there too. So ended this trip that I never wanted to end.

1913 30 HP Avery owned by Don Bradley, Forsyth, Montana. This engine was assembled from parts of 18 different engines.

As long as I can take trips like this and run steam engines, meet with old friends and make new ones, there is nothing wrong with this world! I hope many of you will write a story about your most memorable trip to that certain show or place. And if you don't, then shame on you for six weeks!
