Hello
from Dupree, South Dakota,
Well I’ve finally got hold of a computer!!!! Moved from
Kiowa Kansas at the end of June to Anton Colorado where we were
for a fortnight harvesting one of the largest farms there,
twenty thousand acres !! The weather’s been really hot it
reached 110 f in Colorado so I was really grateful for the air
conditioning in the cab of my lorry. Whilst in Colorado I
travelled about, some of the lads and I went for the day to
Colorado Springs and drove up one of the highest mountains in
Colorado ‘Pike’s Peak’ which is 14031 ft high!! The view was
fantastic looking down on the city of Colorado Springs, believe
you me it was good enough to get you drunk ( without the beer!!
) . I said goodbye to Colorado and drove my lorry 6oo miles up
to Dupree South Dakota quite a journey, started off about 6 am
and arrived just after eight at night. I’m now driving about 6oo
miles each day carrying corn from Dupree to Gettysburg it’s
about 100 miles each way, three trips a day so I’m on the road
for about 20 hours a day!!!, but as you can see I’ve got the day
off today and am making the most of the opportunity to send an
email!!!!
Cheers for now Guto.
