Yeah…ya wanna just go get that and put it back? Looks like the wind took this old threshing machine and toppled it from its perch high atop the bluff above.

This site will greet you just as you start the voyage “Around the World,” where my friend Barry and I took our motorcycles on Memorial Day. In a previous post I took the route that goes past the Sweet Briar school, but you can also end up taking a slightly more scenic route by turning left on Lyons Drive, just west of Mandan.

This is a particularly scenic drive these days now that the fields have greened up. Rolling plains, sharp valleys and a winding road make for an enjoyable drive.
