Today we started up the Amazon. the most diverse eco system in the world. Truly amazing. Also so depressing to see the deforestation happening for mining , lumber and soybeans. When you see and understand how the climate here works and how land clearing changes the cycle you can then see how the world’s regional climates affect us all. The forest may not be here for my grandchildren to see when they’re my age if this continues. I will enjoy the next two weeks exploring the rivers and forests, if the heat and humidity doesn’t kill me. Lol

Please keep us updated on your travels.

There is plenty of evidence of actual human caused climate change from the large scale deforestation in South America. Some speculation that if the current trend of reduced moisture continues, it could put agriculture in jeopardy in an even bigger area.

Some day I’m buying a chore tractor in a Vegas RB sale and driving it home, I’ll get a really good look at the great USA.

Interesting read from fcr. It's been said the rain forests in South America are the lungs of the world. I think it makes more sense to evaluate the destruction there, than worry about what Canadians can do to fix things with a carbon tax. Considering it is -35c today and for the most part Canadian's energy is somewhat cleaner than the rest of the world considering the frigid environment we live in.

That first truck Sask is what you will need hauling your $18 canola to town in September.

That picture of the clevis got me thinking and looking, Crosby makes them up to 3.4 million pound capacity, 12 1/2 inch pin and weighing 8300 pounds. I can't imagine trying to start the nut on that pin.

Why not Florida? Can get an even longer look at the entire country.
Either way, you cold write off the entire holiday as a farm expense.

If you could average 12 hours per day at 20MPH, you could be home in under 2 weeks.
