That makes sense also. I think this might have been close to your area too. Saw a farm sign with the same last name as yours not too far away.

That would be my parent's place.

The Palouse is a nice drive for a tourist/farmer in that lull before harvest.

It's always 85+ for harvest weather even late in the evening.

Don't miss the barge loading terminals down on the river.

Enjoy your trip Furrow.

Having our annual pig roast this weekend, have a super heavyweight this year tipping the scales at 350lbs and a lamb we're also cooking.
Had it buried this morning at 6am, sure hope it's cooked by supper.
Ground was dry all the way down to 5' and very hard digging this year.

Hi Sodbuster
Could you go step by step how you do a pig roast. Always wanted to do one but don’t really know how. How many people would that 350 lb pig feed. Do you cut it up you just let people kind of rip of chunks?

Hi Sodbuster

We started doing this pig roast in 1983 and for the most part we've done it almost every year. That 350 lb pig would probably feed close to 400 people we normally try to get it big around 200 lb and it will feed 250 people. This is basically a block party but do have guests from all over, the year we have some from Norway. We supply the pig, baked Boston beans and garlic toast, we ask all guests to bring potluck.

First step is it take a hole this hole is 6 ft by 8 ft by 4 ft deep, probably about a foot too wide so we had to use a little bit more wood. We fire up the wood in about 8:00 pm once it burns down we will throw on about 3,000 lb of rock on the fire anywhere is from baseball size two volleyball size this is what the pig will cook on. After the rocks are on we build a fire up again and keep up the pit with wood. About 6:00 a.m. we will go back to the pit take out any burning logs that are still there and we should be down to just rocks at that point with some coals underneath. Then we will put down a couple layers of wet burlap on the hot rocks and put lettuce on top of that after that's done we have a box that we have made to put the pig in and then we proceed to put the box in the pit and cover it all up with dirt. After that wait 10 to 12 hours to get up and serve supper.
We've evolved over the years as we get older and smarter and built this box 10 years ago and it works great.

Have a good time Furrow. Been to a few games and enjoy them every time. Something about the sounds that get your adrenaline going

Was a crazy game to watch
By the 5 th inning there were 12 hits and 7 home runs already . Jays could not hold on and fell short again in last inning .
1/2 the stadium was Jays fans or more it seemed
