My wife, and two of our children went from North Carolina to eastern Colorado to pick up my grandfather's antique "one way". We had a great trip we saw American agriculture at work in different stages of harvest all along the way. We even got to see them harvest "Larry the Cable guy's" corn near Lincoln, NE. The highlight was for my three year old Jeb to sit in the jump seat of his cousin's Case combine picking twelve rows of corn. He has talked about that to everyone. The smoothest interstates were in Nebraska (I80) and Kansas (I70) and the roughest were Illinois (I64) It is also amazing that the old one way disc had sat out in eastern Colorado and has very little deterioration. I guess we just missed a couple of inches of snow there last night, too.

Where abouts in E. Colorado? About the rust or lack thereof: When I lived on the East Slope I could leave new, raw steel out for years without serious rust but here in this part of the Western Slope the alkali dust settles right away and at the first sign of moisture..... BINGO.....you got patina!

this is near Holyoke, CO right on the Nebraska border. We are also restoring a 1929 Model a ford and 1935 chev ton and a half grain truck because of the lack of rust.
