Back to Getting Away

After many years of working in the fields a tractor no less than a person deserves a restful retirement. Putter around the yard, helping out in the garden; and occasionally taking the grandkids to the beach.

It's about seven miles down sometimes bumpy hunt club roads and not everybody would have wanted to ride the whole way at Mr. Haney's sedate pace. So we took the tractor and trailer as far as cars could go early in the morning and left them there to wait for us. After lunch we piled in three cars and rode down to the trailhead.

Everybody comfortable?
