• The net result——

  Last night when Doug got the tractors stuck I didn’t have my camera with me.  Also, I didn’t think they would have appreciated picture of their efforts to pull them out, it was too dark in the valley for photography, and they made me stand way back for safety.  All very good reasons for not getting pictures of the action.

  

  This morning, though, Doug has to wash all the tractors.  He has to wash the neighbors 5140 before he returns it.  That one isn’t so bad since all it did was pull and it stayed high and dry most of the time.

        

  The Kubota, however, was sunk in to the hubs and was splashed up onto the cab.  The steps are so caked with mud that they are solid.

  

  This job is going to require a special outfit.  Doug was already speckled with mud when I went out to take these pictures and he hadn’t really started yet.

  

  The Matthew says the tractor was stuck so deep that the step was in the dirt that is why the bottom step is caked with mud.  It was sinking slowly into the bank of the creek.  I fear if we had left it until this morning we may only have seen the top of the cab.

  

  The backhoe is the worst.  That was sunk in to the top of the hubs.  All of the steps on that are solid with mud and the back and one side of the cab are totally covered in mud.

  

  I think I know what Doug is going to be doing for most of today.  Guess that will keep him out of my hair.
