A visit to Coward, South Carolina

Jeff and I went to Coward, South Carolina to visit our friend Al, who farms approximately 100 acres there. Most is land his family has owned for years and the house on the land is the one that he and his five sisters grew up in.

While there we attended a farm equipment auction. There were other items there too but mostly farm equipment.



As you can see from the picture below there were lots of tractors, sprayers and combines there and they were going for some BIG bucks !




Jeff and Al are seen here contemplating which item to bid on. We and Al bid on a few. We walked away with nothing and Al got one item.



Look at this tractor below, it has eight wheels. Bet that is a large bill replacing those tires !







The picture below shows Jeff sitting in a combine - not that we need one mind you - but always fun to sit in anyway. (It had air conditioning, I think that is why he was getting in it)






Besides the auction, Al decided to take us to every buffet in the surrounding cities. We had a great time visiting with him - bit I really didn't need the extra five pounds in five days treatment....


See ya'll !
