- This time of year has always been difficult for me. Time to exchange “harvest time” with the normal routine once again.
I guess I just like the idea of not having a schedule.
Is that bad?
We left Jordan sorta late the first day. And then we stopped earlier than usual on the 2nd day. So, the typical hard push didn’t happen.
But the heat is on for the weekend and traveling during the hot spells are always a little stressful. But…at least we have less tires on the road than ever before!

I never realized the Black Hills had a national cemetery. Learn something new everyday.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Singing and smiling , Jim is very relaxed ! Like everyone the scenery is beautiful thanks Tracy and Jim
Music does that to a person!
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking Tracy , so does a good,good wife !!
@@gerrybrown5569 😊
Did you make it home?
@@danielswartzentruber2142 -we did!
What a beautiful trip and it was so good to see Jim smiling!!! And Tracy, wherever you go, you always find those gorgeous sunsets -- wish I had a picture of the ones with wheat in front!
Wheat will forever be my favorite!
Well, Tracy and Jim, thanks so much for the time and memories u folks share with us. And yes, Nebraska is the good life. The most impressive is the neat small places few people stop to appreciate .can't wait to see what the next journey will be. I'll stay tuned. Thanks again for sharing.😊😊😊
Thanks for being a part of the journey!
Love how you listen to 70s music, my generation!!! You've shown me country I may never see. Can't say up north is where I would ever want to live.
Probably not in the winter months, anyways.
Nebraska the good life. I am sure it is a great place to call home. So is the Flathead Valley where I live
I drove over the Missouri River today in St. Louis...Very Low on Water...underscores the drought conditions in the Midwest.
Yes! The rivers in Nebraska are also very low.
Another beautiful sunset such a nice view thanks for the tour its awesome
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice one Tracy
Yourself and Jim are truly blessed by God
Yes, we are.
Sure hope that you can go north again next year. In the meantime, keep er between the ditches Jim😅❣️
ME TOOOOOO!!
Wonderful scenery, you guys are the best, thank you.
Thanks for being a part of our journey, John.
Well done Tracy, easy to watch and understand where you two are at. Great photography and editing all in one. That was one of the coolest water falls I have seen.
Tallest in Nebraska!
I’m sure those nice folks you worked for this year, discovered they had met a diamond in the rough and will welcome you back with open arms!
Stay safe
They asked us to come back. Hope it works out that we can!
Nicely done folks. The falls were especially pretty. .No crowds...how lucky you are!!!!!
Especially with it being a holiday weekend!
thanks for the update, we certainly enjoyed following you harvesting in Montana and hope you can do it again next year, i do hope you can keep making videos to share now that you are home, thanks again, see ya tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fall harvest is just around the corner…
Your videos make me miss my growing up in ND. Miss all the people.
People are the best!
Had son married yrs ago in val coming from Wi. it was a relief to see a river of that size
Beautiful area of Nebraska!
Once again thanks for the ride along. You guys be safe, and see you the next time.
Thanks for tagging along, Gene.
They float down the middle loup river by Mullen in cattle watering tanks...lol
In March I think.
Thanks again for the video, DJ from Alaska.
Would love to do that! Not sure I’d want to do it in March, though. Could be really chilly!
👍👍I think it’s pretty this morning no I think it’s dreary this morning 😂😂 good one Jim . Thanks for the great trip you took us on 😀
We never seem to agree on anything!
Thank you for the ride along. God Bless.
Thank you so much Tracy and Jim for those beautiful videos from your great country. I always watch them with a real pleasure from France and I travel with you every day. I also learn the geography and follow you from Montana to your home state Nebraska (through South Dakota). You’re both beautiful ❤. See y’a tomorrow !!…. Jean-Louis from France
Thank you for being a part of our journey, Jean-Louise! I’m honored to have you a part of the story.
Thank you so much for the videos. We live 8 miles from the Bahnmillers and enjoyed every day of harvest.
You are so fortunate to live in such an amazing part of this country!
Now I'm a little more annoyed at myself for taking a wrong turn in Grass Range, MT a year ago and missing the rest of MT 200 to Jordan and the section of MT 59 from Jordan to Miles City. I had turned off of 200 to pass through Grass Range to see the rodeo going on there and when the loop brought me back to the highway, I instinctively turned right again. It was raining hard and I didn't have the sun to tell me I was headed south on US 87 instead of east on 200--that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Having been on a dinosaur excavation project in the Hell Creek Formation some 48 years ago, I was wanting to overnight in Jordan and visit the big digs north of town. OK, I wanted to have a beer or two at the Hell Creek Bar, also. Between the rain and not wanting to turn and backtrack, we just proceeded to Roundup and Forsyth and on over to Miles City to pick up MT 59 there.
You passed by the huge laydown yard of the Clearwater Wind Project south of Cohagen along 59. Today is the first realization I've had of its construction.
We've passed through Broadus several times and even overnighted at the campground at the 59-212 junction once. We took in an hour of a rodeo there one afternoon. Your pictures of your growing family at the sign over the years are terrific.
We've once run down US 83 from Murdo, SD to Valentine, NE but we continued down 83 to Thedford to pick up NE-2 through the heart of the Sand Hills. One of these days, we'll hang around Valentine for a few days and do some cycling on the Cowboy Trail and some paddling on the Niobrara River. The paddling will represent our 3rd piece of river running in Nebraska, having "tanked" the Middle Loup near Mullen, NE twice now.
It's a treat to follow your travels and thanks for your efforts to show descriptions of exactly where you are!
You’ll just have to go again! Thanks for sharing your memories!
Tracy, we have cousins at Big Timber, Brodas and BellFouce. I also have traveled a quite a few roads in that country while I drove long haul trucks. Some awfully beautiful country! Thank you for the video memories.
Yes! Beautiful country for sure.
It'll cool off soon enough. Sept 9- 10 2020 we all had our furnaces on in north Iowa. Don't have too much fun in Valentine. John T.
Oh gosh…the heat is still on in Eastern Nebraska. At least for a a few more days.
No question….The Good Life! We just flew from UT to Lincoln for NE girls volleyball. NE people are the best! Thank you for a beautiful journey back home.
Ohhhhhh, you were part of the world record. ❤️
Thanks so much for the great pictures again!
Thank you for watching!
What a ride on your way home. Lots of great pictures. You have many great stops on the way home. Really enjoyed the ride home. Will be lookin for the next chapter in the journey home. CYA
enjoyed the video i hope you keep making them take care
I will - as long as I have content.
Doesn’t look Jordon has changed much since I was there last other than the wind generators going in great video as always 😊and yes it hot down south 😅
Probably not much at all, Stanley! We’ve all just gotten a few years older.
I didn't even know that existed in Nebraska
I didn’t either until a couple of years ago.
Sure enjoyed seeing a lot of your harvesting trip & of Valentine Nebraska..Stayed there 1 night many years ago on our way home from a quick trip to Texas.Was in Feb,& was so cold & windy the hotel couldn,t get the rooms heated very good so had to keep our coats on in the room while we played cards in evening . Hope to see you folks on again next year.
Thanks for being a part of the journey! A little break for me before harvest starts. But Jim got back in the combine yesterday - high moisture corn.
Thanks yawl for the ride along!
Was that a construction site home base for the windmill development? At 2:40.Quite an operation!
Yes. Crazy!!!!
I goto get up that way b4 I cant.. it's beautiful
Do it!!
I traveled NE on the job for years out of KC. It is great to see some of the things I missed along the way. Thanks!
❤️
I will always remember Valentine Nebraska in the early 70s we were moving our harvest crew and we were involved in a very bad accident ,we were coming down the hill by Valentine and the hydraulic brakes on the truck blew a hydraulic line and the truck with combine freewheeled down the hill and at the bottom the hill was a bridge ,our truck and combine smashed into our leading truck and combine also there was a vehicle with a camper we all met on that bridge we totalled off one combine one truck and the other car with camper were destroyed thankfully no one was killed ,it took our crew most of the evening to clean up that mess off that bridge that was the worst and only accident we had in the 18 years of custom harvesting
Whoa!!!! That would have been an awful thing to deal with. I can’t even imagine.
Don't try to pull two trailers like that in California. Will look forward to next year.
❤️
I've have a few timeouts there at DOT myself lol.
🤣🤣 we feel your pain!
Good video
Thank you!
You should have stood outside until your lips turned blue then you will appreciate the heat more!🥶🥵 There's been quite a range of weather while you've been gone. Dry and hot to cool and wet back to hot again. Welcome back to Nebraska The Good Life. Lived here all my life, can't imagine living somewhere else. 👍
Honestly not looking forward to the heat and humidity that’s waiting at home.
Hermoso lugar saludos abrazos desde Argentina
Yes!! Oh so beautiful!
Nice video as always. Seeing the country side I remembered my first trip to Havre, Mt. My car at that time I only had an AM radio and as the evening came the stations that I was listening began to go off the air. Beautiful water falls. Have a safe trip going back home.
Good memories!!!❤️
Thanks Tracy and Jim!!! Your videos and stories bring back so many wonderful memories, assume you came down thru Gordon on your way to Valentine. Met my wife in Porcupine, she grew up in Gordon and has told me many “combiner” stories as the harvesting came thru the area
So glad I found your channel as your stories keep me sane as I go thru a series of surgeries
Keep enjoying life!!
No, we headed down from Medora, SD.
I’ll need to go that way next time as it’s beautiful!
THANKS!
We all hope your back next year also😊
❤️❤️
We want to travel with you two. We live in Georgia!
Get in your car and DRIVE!
Thanks Guys Have Fun
Thanks!
WE LOVE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG
Thanks for tagging along!
I sense that you had a mechanical breakdown in Jordan. It's a good thing you were not in a hurry this trip.
Nope. No mechanical breakdown. Just time to see friends before we headed back home.
I get jealous of watching you two and your adventures. My wife and I used to travel Canada because of my health it made it difficult to cross the 49th.
I just don’t want those traveling days to end. Got a little gypsy blood in me, I’m afraid.
Thank you so much. When is your next adventure?
Hopefully soon!
How does the custom cutters get paid by the acre by the bushel
By the acre, by the bushels hauled and a bonus over an average of 20 bpa.
Would of like to know when you were passing through. Went by within 40 miles.
I would of met up and buy you lunch. Would like to say I’ve met you and Jim in person. My kind of people. Love the videos.
Thank you for the offer, John! Maybe it will work out another time.
12:51 👍👍👍
❤️
I'm sitting in Valentine doing a 30 minute break and just went by the railroad bridge you were filming. Small world eh?
Yes!! Small world! But…did you stop and walk over it?
@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking no, it's hard for me to walk with bad knees. Plus, I was just doing a 30 minute break and then had to keep trudging on to Idaho.
@@frankcollins4482 gotcha!!!
On to corn and beans locally ??
Yep!
Jim. Don't you drop that camera. Just kidding. Thanks for the show.
👍🏻
What to you is a good life? Nice place, less pollutants, less people? Nice economic country situations? For me, its none of the above. Good life for me is that i can be a person who has realized the very nature of life itself! If one is blind to the well-being of life, one will find himself of the good stuffs externally. While for the self-realized person, any place would suit him perfectly!
The “good life” to me is the one God has placed me in - to do His will and to have a purpose.
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking Well, thats good! But first, you have to realize first and experienced it within you. Then what you want to become is just a moment away.
Tracy,
What type of camera are you using?
I use my phone.
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking 🤣 Well nothing like simplicity.👍
I do not know anything about 5th wheeling.....
What do you have strapped to the rear ladder?
Any idea how many miles Jim put on the motorcycle?
It’s a cart to put sewage in if there’s no sewer to drop the sewer hose in. Then, you can cart it off to be dumped.
Not nearly as many miles as I’m sure he wished.
Taking your monthly bath???
Yep!
Thank you so much for sharing.
" AMER1CA"
Thank you, Doug.
Tracy you could have taken a shower under that falls
Yes…if it wasn’t ICE COLD.
Windmills not turning 🤦♂️ my wife that’s because someone turned the switch (electricity to run them) off lol😂
Ok so I see they are still under construction but I hardly ever pass one where 10 to 20% are not turning a total waste of tax payer dollars
Well, these have been going up for almost two years now. Companies come in and go bankrupt and someone else takes over. It’s a mess. And a mess of the countryside too.
@@ZeorianHarvestingTrucking totally messing up the country side 😞
