I know very little about wheat but the wheat fields around here, the wheat stocks, are only about 8-10 inches tall and just driving down the expressway, lots of times it\u2019s hard to tell if the wheat has been harvested or not.

I think I mentioned earlier about the generator not running the A\/C. Arrived here at a campground and plugged in and low and behold the A\/C works, SUPER FANTASTIC NEWS WITH THE BEYOND HADES HEAT, but that means the problem is in the generator or a fuse between the generator and circuit breakers that I haven\u2019t found yet. A new transfer switch might have been cheaper in the long run if it\u2019s something serious with the generator.<\/p>\r\n<p>After setting a while, and after I hunted and pecked out the above, we decided to take a drive on the Enchanted Highway to check out some metal sculptures.

and miles, it doesn\u2019t take long to realize just how small and insignificant you are.<\/p>\r\n<p>Can you imagine back in the early 1800\u2019s or earlier, walking for days under the brutally hot sun, cloudless sky, not a tree in sight, no water, making your way through tough tall brown prarie grass that\u2019s waist high, sometimes taller. Then you come over a small ridge you can see a line of green in the distance. You now that means water. That line of green can still be miles away. Unlike today where the horizon is broken up with different colors of fields, roads and power lines.
