 Topic: We're here! Albert City GOTO
Posted: 12 Aug 2010 at 5:04pm |
Arrived at Albert City about 2PM today. The place is really hot and and pretty muddy. Camping is going to be tough. Fortunately a really great guy, Colin Johnston has put us up at his farm which is 3 miles from the show grounds. We'll have to work out the logistics at getting there from here, but we are thinking of unhooking from the the RV trailer and taking the RV/Truck in and parking it where ever we can find a spot.
See you tomorrow at the show.

Today turned out to be a great day. The rain went around, it was a little warm but if you found some shade and a breeze you were in good shape. Lots of tractors and some very interesting exhibits. I will try to get some pictures posted and linked
Here are the pictures that I took today.

Nice bunch of pictures John. Thanks for posting. I like the Low Down WD, but the 220 FWA is coolest of them all. Charlie

Well, 8 hours and 400 miles later we are home at Alan and Sarah's in Washington, IL.
Kudo's to the folks in Albert City for making the best of a bad situation and making the show work.

Thanks for the Pictures and Thanks to Charlie Widlund and the Albert City Threshers for hosting the show. There were a lot of Allis tractors displayed and a good turnout on Saturday. Pretty muddy, however.

Great pictures, looks like a good show; that D21 4 wheel drive front axle looks a little shakey !!! But maybe its better in person ???
