In this video I went to Perley Minnesota to work the sugar beet harvest. The harvest lasted 38 days. We worked a total of 19 days and were shut down due to poor weather conditions for the remainder. We had a few nice days, but the last two weeks were long, cold, windy and wet. During the down time the Arctic Fox Truck Camper was feeling like a jail cell. Unfortunately the cell phone reception in Perley is almost non existent, thankfully I keep a bunch of DVD's in the camper.
I explored the NW corner of Minnesota which is primarily farm land. I ventured into a small North Dakota town and found a retired train caboose, other then that I didn't find much to look at. After spending 10 days re-watching season one, two, three and four of The Office I decided to go home until work resumed.
Mandi and I explored a State Forest only miles from her home. It is one we enjoy many times throughout the year, but this was the first time I filmed there. If you pay attention to the scenery you will notice how quickly the leaves change. When I left home the leaves were starting to change, my trip back home found the leaves in full color, and when I left the fields were dirt and the trees were almost bare.
My camera was giving me issues throughout the month. Unfortunately I lost a lot of footage of the harvest work, but I was able to put together a short video documenting my time there.
Thanks for coming along on the travels!
Thanks for watching.
