Email from Richard Rockefeller "Trip to Germany"

I have posted the remainder of the pictures from my trip to Fuchtorf Germany for the Pull, they are in several files. Again, I did not edit them so there are multiple pictures of the same tractor in a run at different times or same photo with different settings or a little different angle, there are some "fun" photo's, then some pictures when I was traveling of vehicles and things I saw.

when you get to my site, click on "pictures" on the lower left side, if you click on the obvious link in the center Pictures of my trip to Germany all your going to see is my original folder 1st set of pull photos.

2nd set of pull photo's

After pull party; I will say the Green Monster team really know how to party ofter the pull. MANY cases of beer, some CC, loud stereo, then Rico & Fabian gave us a 5 minute plus drum roll on empty methanol drums with cut up broom handles for drum sticks wonder what the janitor thought in the morning.

Trip to Hamburg and harbor; Sascha and i took a trip to Hamburg to see the model trains, truly unbelievable. this file is pictures of our trip to Hamburg and of the Harbor.

Around Fuchtorf; This was an afternoon ride around fuchtorf with Dirk driving, there are some pictures of the homes and a couple pictures of "castles" these are not going to be the castles we normally think of, these are basically mansions.

Team shop & Pull Preparations; This is group of photos of the shop, track and area around the shop. The fields with plastic covering them is "white" asparagus. They grow the asparagus under the double layer of plastic, white on top, black underneath, then go out every day or two and pull the plastic back and cut the asparagus, they peel the outside of and cook it. The end product is like no asparagus you have ever tasted, tender & sweet. It is a big draw to the area restaurants. There are several pictures of a narrow road. that is a "farm" road which I guess we would call a secondary road. That is what all these roads look like. Just wide enough for one vehicle. Just to make it more interesting there are many bicyclists on them and farm tractors. The water tank, they were watering the parking area, local fields, pit area, and track when I got there on Thursday so I am not sure when they started. Then they watered on Sunday morning also. There was ZERO dust on the track, both the leveling blades put significant amounts of water on the track during the pull. The bus that is wrapped advertising the pull runs year around. Note the children with bicycles that have "tractor pull" signs on the back of them and rode them around town. There are some pictures taken inside a radio station where Heinz Joseph (owner of Green Monster team) and Sascha did a radio interview to play promoting the pull, one of several radio interviews.

Model Train file; this is a model train display in Hamburg, here is a introduction.
