Marilyn had it planned for four months now. I didn't really want to go. After 13 years of carousing around the west on the wheat harvest this was kind of old hat to me but after we got there I had a blast.
We took two of my daughter's teen aged girls and their step-sister with us. We had a wonderful time. There was no fighting, no yelling, but plenty of giggling. The girls didn't want to go home, they were having so much fun. Marilyn booked a house at a rental cabin place just outside of Keystone, that had a furnished kitchen and the works, just like home. The house was across the road from the rest of the cabins so it was like we were in our own little world. We didn't have any close calls and there were no scary moments.
So here I go with my mileage figures again. 2008 Toyota Sienna with a six foot luggage carrier on the roof packed full, two adults and three teen age girls inside with cooler, suitcases, blankets, the works. I didn't go above 70 MPH even though the limit was 75. The temp was 103 and I just figured the tires didn't need any more stress. On the highway the mileage was 21.5 for an average. Twisting around the needles highway and all of the other twisty, hilly roads, without luggage but the five of us inside and an empty luggage carrier on top the mileage was 16.5. This van gets 24 MPG with just Marilyn and I and luggage with no carrier on top at 70-75 MPH. It's good to be home but we certainly do have a lot of good memories. Jim

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
