Old Threshers 2010

The day in photos.

Lots of walking. It was sunny and not too hot- but DUSTY!

Oak Ridge School museum
The oldest standing public school in Iowa

TRAINS!!

And horsepower of a different sort

Steam tractors big and little

Equipment to bring in the harvest: old

and new.
A 2010 John Deere combine.
Price tag: $307,520!!!

Lunch by a life-sized rubber alligator.
???


And later afternoon- a tradition.
Probably the best caramel apples in the world.
Only from under the grandstand.
They've had the same recipe since I was a child.

All worn out on the way home.

Aren't they cute?
