00:00I'll see you next time
00:30It doesn't feel like we're leaving yet.
00:43Sometimes we're almost wishing we could stay,
00:45and other times we're really excited to leave,
00:46and we think of our family and friends, so...
00:48I guess we'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
00:51So it'll be strange.
00:53There's so much to look forward to,
00:54and so much to...
00:57be afraid of.
00:58Traffic.
00:59We're going to be on Port of Germain, and, um...
01:03At night here, the only man-made sound we hear
01:06is the odd plane that goes over at 30,000 feet, so...
01:10It's just the strangest thing, though,
01:11to think that this has been a whole year already.
01:14It's flown by so quick.
01:23There's an old saying on the prairies.
01:25If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes.
01:28It's sure to change.
01:30Usually for the worse.
01:35So yesterday was the first day of spring?
01:37It was.
01:38You'd never believe it, eh?
01:40Now what?
01:41Well, I guess this is the March blizzard that we've been waiting for.
01:45Where are you headed today?
01:46I'm going to a funeral.
01:47What a day for a funeral.
01:49Wow.
01:49I really debated once I got out here
01:53that I should turn around and go back.
01:55But, uh, this lady was a very dear lady.
01:58And, uh, what would a family do?
02:01Would they have braved this and gone to a funeral
02:04for somebody that was special to them
02:06or that was somebody that meant something to them?
02:08I bet they would.
02:09Deanna takes this storm in stride.
02:20The pioneers say the only cure for winter is patience.
02:24Like earlier settlers,
02:26they've learned to grumble about it
02:27and then go about their business.
02:29Because sooner or later,
02:31spring has to come.
02:32And then they can go.
02:33Finally, it seems winter is in full retreat.
03:03And with the melt,
03:05there's a feeling that the pioneer experience
03:07has come full circle.
03:13Well, we're going to welcome spring in.
03:18Change the slate of the wagon.
03:22We enjoyed the slate.
03:24It was so enjoyable.
03:26Quiet and smooth.
03:29But, uh,
03:30all good things have to come to an end, I guess.
03:33And this is one of them.
03:33You know, it's springtime
03:35and we're soon going to be leaving here.
03:37That's not a lot of pleasurable thought.
03:43Who's steering this out?
03:46Last fall,
03:48it took four men
03:49to move the wagon blocks to the slate.
03:51Today,
03:52Tim and Frank move it back alone.
03:54It's a moment of pride.
03:55They say they're just stronger and wiser
03:58in the pioneer ways now.
04:00I came down here a couple of hours,
04:14not even two hours ago,
04:15and there was only about,
04:16I came to check the road
04:17because I have to do pickup tomorrow.
04:19So,
04:20I was trying to see how wet it is
04:21and it's just horrible.
04:22But the ditch on this side of the road
04:24wasn't full of water.
04:26So,
04:26I was going to make a couple of little paths
04:27because the road was starting to fill up
04:29and hopefully the water would go off the road.
04:31But,
04:31I've come back now here now
04:33two hours later
04:33and the water's probably gone up to six inches.
04:35and that whole ditch is just flooded now
04:38right to the field.
04:39So,
04:40there's nothing I can do now.
04:41I guess we're just going to have to dry through it tomorrow.
04:43Of course,
04:44horses haven't gone through wet in a while
04:46so it'll be a little bit of fun.
04:56Overland flooding has become their next challenge.
04:59But the mud and water are easier to face this spring.
05:03Last June,
05:03they were greenhorns.
05:05Surviving a summer and a winter on the prairies
05:08has given them all new confidence with the horses.
05:18They get their supplies
05:19and then head home to face another problem.
05:25Now,
05:26the thaw is threatening the food
05:27they've stowed away for spring.
05:29Well,
05:30we've been watching this fridge
05:31and our cellar under our floor here
05:34for the last couple of days
05:35because the water outside has been rising and rising
05:37and,
05:38well,
05:39this morning we've got water.
05:40our thing I dug for kitty litter
05:51fell right to the top.
05:53We'll dig her out here
05:54and we got our well.
05:55Perfect.
05:55Oh yeah,
05:55that's what we were.
05:56Remember?
05:57We were going to have our well in the house.
05:58Oh yeah.
05:58You know,
05:59that's a dig.
06:00That's where our vegetables were sitting last night.
06:02But what, what, what would they have done, eh?
06:06Out here in this, I mean,
06:07oh man,
06:08they'd have gone back home and said,
06:10forget this country.
06:11Can't you see us in a sod house?
06:13Can't you see us in a sod house now?
06:15Yeah, the water's really rising really quickly.
06:17Yeah.
06:20They discover that their outdoor freezer is flooding, too.
06:25So how do you feel about this, Frank?
06:29I feel very good.
06:31I love cutting up deer meat in the morning.
06:33Is it a cool experience?
06:35Oh yes.
06:37They'll have to cook and can the deer meat
06:39before it thaws and goes bad.
06:41Oh, the chickens are having a good time.
06:47So what are you gals doing today?
06:49Canning and eat.
06:51Is this a pioneering experience?
06:53Yes, it is.
06:54Is this true pioneering?
06:55Yes.
06:56Yes.
06:56This is true pioneering.
06:57This is summer memories.
06:58But you know,
07:00Alana and I were talking today about
07:01what would settlers do at this time of the year
07:03with this situation in this kind of the mid,
07:08it's not summer yet,
07:09but obviously we can't keep meat frozen outside.
07:13I guess they had to salt a lot of it,
07:15but I bet they had to do a lot of canning of it
07:17and it probably was a big job.
07:20I mean, this was a little deer
07:21and this is just a little bit of meat that was left,
07:23but it works.
07:27At least we'll have meat till we leave.
07:30But their troubles aren't over.
07:32There's another sudden snowstorm
07:34and then a deep frost
07:35and they've just moved their vegetables
07:37from the flooded root cellar to the tent.
07:39Well, what should we do?
07:41Our water level in our house is up to the point
07:45where it's about two inches below the floorboards.
07:49Some of our vegetables are frozen.
07:54Had them in a box here all covered in tarp.
07:58A lot of times in the pioneer days,
08:00they just simply had to eat kind of spoiled vegetables
08:06and just work around it.
08:08It must have been very disappointing
08:10for settlers when they found their vegetables
08:14rotting or frozen.
08:16Boy, it must have been devastating,
08:18especially with everything that frozen.
08:21Now the vegetables will be stowed under the bed
08:23where someone else is waiting for their share.
08:44The storm has grounded the wagon.
08:47There's only one thing to do
08:48while they wait for spring to stop flirting.
08:50Find some joy in what they hope
08:52will be their last visit with winter.
09:01Good shot.
09:14There was no snow left out here until last night.
09:17It's a winter wonderland.
09:18This normally would be quite beautiful,
09:20but it's hard to appreciate it
09:22when Crita said we can leave when the snow disappears
09:25and then this happens.
09:27This is the start of our lean-to.
09:29We're just going to lean poles up.
09:30We've dug out the snow.
09:32It didn't take long,
09:33and now we have a nice,
09:34hopefully waterproof place for the night.
09:37Frank and Alana are hunting for a cure
09:39for cabin fever.
09:41They try an overnight getaway,
09:431870s style.
09:44Last night we heard a coyote,
09:49and it was probably about the closest we ever heard one.
09:51It sounded like it was howling
09:53really close behind our cabin.
09:56So that will bug me tonight
09:57if we hear the coyotes howling,
09:58especially because Frank already sent his gun home.
10:00So that's so funny.
10:10Scary coyote from last night is back,
10:12and it sounds like he's just behind our lean-to here.
10:15I'm ready to go home.
10:21I swear I'm keeping this thing right by my head.
10:27Stupid coyotes.
10:29Coyotes when you're in the cabin is beautiful.
10:32Coyotes out here,
10:33it's not quite so beautiful.
10:37Spring just doesn't want to come,
10:38and winter just doesn't want to leave.
10:46Well, it's April 16th.
10:48It's hard to believe.
10:49It looks more like December 16th.
10:51like ××Ŗ can be if it was so beautiful.
10:54Next level of mind trades,
10:55for the price of fish.
11:09eto inronicity.

11:19Some of the first signs of spring are the green leaves of poison ivy.
11:46Poison ivy everywhere.
11:55One horse turd, one good oak limb.
11:59Now if you want to try this type of golfing, it takes a lot of skill.
12:04The biggest skill is to find this, just the right size one.
12:11Then you've got to get your puttin' iron.
12:14We call it a wood.
12:16Now I realize in the 21st century a wood is for drivin' far,
12:19but in the 1870s a wood was for puttin' as well.
12:27Nice to meet you.
12:32It's April 24th, and at last it looks like spring is here to stay.
12:37Some newspaper reporters and photographers have been invited to the homestead,
12:41because in one week the pioneers will leave their log homes and return to the 21st century.
12:47There were some parts that were a lot harder and some parts that were easier than we had imagined.
12:50And what were those?
12:52Mosquitoes were way worse.
12:54Baking soda for toothpaste is really crappy.
12:59Do you think that it's going to be a difficult adjustment when you leave here?
13:04I think it's going to be difficult because now we have to decide what we're going to do.
13:08I think what we wanted out of life has changed a little bit too.
13:10We don't want to get caught in the rat race again.
13:12Maybe we will if we're hoping we don't.
13:14We kind of want to change how we live a little bit.
13:17It was neat to see their interest.
13:21I felt they were genuinely interested in the experience that we had.
13:27But yeah, it really does signify the end because, you know, we talk about them,
13:30we're talking to them about what you did and what you accomplished,
13:33not what you're going to be doing, so it's sort of the end.
13:40Once the press leaves, it's time to get back to work, but not to farming.
13:44In a week, this field will become a cattle pasture again.
13:48The plow lay here all winter.
13:51It's carried away now to be returned to its owner.
14:04Wrangling this antique brings back all the memories of those first tough weeks on the land.
14:09I think maybe in a way I'd like to be plowing again this year.
14:16You know what, because we know how to do it.
14:17Yeah, and everything's set up right.
14:19You know, we spent all year last year learning how to do it, and then we were done.
14:24Yeah.
14:25So it would have been nice to plow this year.
14:27Of course, I could quite do without it.
14:31I'm not going to cry over it.
14:32No.
14:33No tears shed on my part.
14:37That was hard labor.
14:40But when I read the journal that I wrote, oh man.
14:46Those first couple of weeks were unbelievable.
14:49I must have just had an adrenaline rush, and the challenge that lay before me,
14:54and just said, it's got to be done.
14:57This has to be done, and we're going to do it.
14:59And it was the first thing we did, and we were both so inexperienced at everything.
15:03And just ignorant of it.
15:06We just didn't have any knowledge of how the thing was supposed to work.
15:09So, now we do, and I think we could go into a good plow contest.
15:15Maybe.
15:16Well, we're just getting ready to go to town today.
15:33So, we've been all prettied up, shaved all up.
15:37Got a new hairstyle just for the day.
15:40Got a kind of real girl catcher.
16:01Last male pickup.
16:02This is exciting.
16:03This is neat.
16:04Is it turning into a week of lasts?
16:06Yes.
16:07Yeah.
16:08A week of lasts, and a week of firsts.
16:11What way?
16:12Well, we had first mosquitoes, first frogs, first butterfly.
16:16First caterpillar.
16:17First poison ivy.
16:19And last, well, our first goodbye.
16:24Well, we'll see you guys.
16:26We're fine.
16:27Bye!
16:28Bye!
16:30Here they come.
16:31Get them right up close.
16:32Right by that.
16:3310 a.m.
16:34They come right there.
16:35Right up by that white sign.
16:36That says, Argyle, you need to get a couple.
16:37Straight.
16:38Straight.
16:39Straight.
16:40Straight.
16:41Hey.
16:42Hi.
16:43Hello.
16:44Hi.
16:45Hi.
16:46Hi.
16:47Hi.
16:48Hi.
16:49Hi.
16:50Hi.
16:51Hi.
16:52Hi.
16:53Hi.
16:54Hi.
16:55Hi.
16:56Hi.
16:57Hi.
16:58Hi.
16:59Hi.
17:00Hi.
17:01Hi.
17:02Hi.
17:03Did you get a picture?
17:04Yeah.
17:05It's pretty cool.
17:06Yeah.
17:07Why?
17:08It's like something good to happen in Argyle.
17:11Like something big in such a small town.
17:13And it makes Argyle stand out more than it usually does.
17:16Yeah.
17:17Gonna miss them?
17:18Yeah.
17:19Oh, yeah.
17:20What are you gonna miss the most?
17:21Um, just having them around.
17:23Yeah.
17:38Meanwhile, Frank and Alana drop in at the Smith farm to say goodbye.
17:43Max had a lot of ideas too, and I guess he used to farm with horses, you know, and we
17:50used his sleigh and even to grease the wheels in the wagon or anything.
17:54It was always good to talk to him.
17:56He's given us a lot of advice about our animals and just, I mean, he's one of the older
18:00guys around here, so we kind of count on him as our information center, I guess.
18:05Yeah.
18:06We have an actual plan here.
18:08And we will miss you all a lot.
18:12We will never forget you guys.
18:15Yeah, you're fine.
18:17See you, Max.
18:18We'll see you.
18:19Yeah, we'll see you all again.
18:22Not let the world sort of implode on you too much.
18:25Yeah.
18:26And that's gonna be hard.
18:27Oh, that's gonna be hard.
18:28Very, very hard.
18:29All right.
18:30Bye-bye.
18:31Night.
18:34What a fair.
18:35We really enjoyed them.
18:36Yes.
18:37And I'm sure they'll never forget this.
18:45Pretty tough stuff when they started.
18:48It was the worst year of a hundred years.
18:53But it is it.
18:54Do you want any of the soap, Alana?
19:07It's their last full day on the land.
19:08Packing day.
19:09Time to separate personal treasures from the trappings of a pioneer life.
19:22This afternoon, they'll move some of the farm tools to the neighbors for safe keeping.
19:27This is how it is when you leave a house, say, and you take all those things that make it
19:31home.
19:32All of a sudden it's just a house again, you know?
19:35So maybe this will make it easier to leave here by emptying the house of our things that
19:41mean things, mean something to us.
19:43But yeah, it's sad.
19:46It's really sad.
19:48Yeah.
19:49Duct tape.
19:50I could have used this stuff all year, I tell you.
19:53What was that, Frank?
19:54I said I could have used duct tape all year.
19:57Would have held our wagon together.
19:58What does Willow think of all the packing?
20:02She's been rangy.
20:03I think she knows we're heading out.
20:06Yeah, she won't even go in the house.
20:08Actually, if we go near her and I'm not with a toy or something, she runs away, I think.
20:13She's thinking she's going to be locked up somewhere.
20:19She hasn't got any ticks yet, though.
20:21We had four or five of them on us yesterday.
20:23Wood ticks?
20:24Yeah, they've really come out and had one this morning, so they're back.
20:27How about mosquitoes?
20:28I haven't, no, I had one bite yesterday, but they're back.
20:31We left the door open the other night so she could run in and out all night.
20:34And we had quite a few mosquitoes in, so.
20:36So you've come full circle?
20:37Yeah.
20:38It's a good time to be leaving.
20:42I wonder how the pioneers would have felt.
20:45They knew they had to go through the whole gamut again of the bugs, the ticks, and everything.
20:53Must have been discouraging if you'd especially had two years of crop failure.
20:57We were talking to a person and there was some place around here that every quarter section there was an abandoned farm within a few years of the start of the settlers.
21:08Today, the last of the supplies are being ferried to the next farm.
21:16Tomorrow, the pioneers will leave.
21:19But it won't be the defeat faced by many of those who came to the prairies in the 1870s and who left after being worn down by all the hardships these homesteaders have faced.
21:29There's just time now for one final meal.
21:36It's the last of Frank's deer, a stew made delicious by Deanna, and then eaten outdoors just as they did when they began here last June.
21:46Let's give thanks. Last time, eh?
21:52Yep.
21:53Giving thanks?
21:54Yeah.
21:55Out here.
21:56Well, Father, thank you for this year. It's been a good year.
22:01And I just thank you for this food and all the way that you've supplied all of our needs. In Jesus' name. Amen.
22:07It's good.
22:08It's really a little better than eating in that little tin soap.
22:14You know what? It's way better canned. We should have canned all of them.
22:17We should have.
22:18This is really good.
22:19It's fast food, eh?
22:21Oh, yeah.
22:22I know what I'm going back to.
22:28And I'm not all that excited about it.
22:34I came here with the elated feeling of I'm getting out of the rat race.
22:39I'm going back to a lifestyle that I've wanted to do.
22:43And so I was elated coming out here.
22:46But to go back into something that we know, um...
22:52We're just going back to normal life. We're not going back to something new and exciting.
22:55We came out here, there were so many things we didn't know that was going to happen,
22:58but we all know how to live in the 21st century.
23:01I think one of the things that I realized out here, which was kind of neat,
23:04was when we applied for this thing to start off with,
23:07it was such a dream and we never, ever imagined we'd ever get it.
23:10I guess, especially being younger, it's pretty exciting going home and realizing,
23:13yeah, we can follow our dreams.
23:15I think because this seems so impossible,
23:17that now we'll be more daring and try for more dreams,
23:20even though normally we think maybe we shouldn't.
23:21That's a little too outrageous.
23:23So I think it's neat going home and knowing that we can pretty much do anything that we really want to.
23:27That you did it.
23:29Yeah.
23:30Yeah.
23:31It's sad.
23:32Like, it's sad to be leaving this.
23:35Poison ivy mosquito infested wood tick haven that we call home.
23:40Especially with the new breed of ticks that just came out.
23:42They're a nice one.
23:43But...
23:44I mean, we've come to...
23:46This is home.
23:47I think that, you know, there's always the thing of couples going,
24:13can we get too much of each other type thing.
24:15Everyone said before we were going to come out of here,
24:17before we came out here that you guys are going to be divorced.
24:19Too much time together.
24:21But I think that's, for us, that's the thing we probably enjoy the most.
24:24It's just our time spent together.
24:26If it's talking or even just reading separately,
24:30like we are me reading her sewing or just time spent together.
24:34We just know each other a lot better, I think.
24:36I don't know if we really changed.
24:38We'll find out, I guess.
24:40I think our marriage is probably the best thing that I'm coming out of it,
24:51that it's stronger.
24:52It made me realize, I think, you know,
24:54that outside pressures affect marriages so much,
24:58whereas here the pressures have been very small.
25:01And what a wonderful year.
25:03We were just saying today, I think it's been the best year of our marriage.
25:10I'm not sure when we make the fire in the summertime and we're on a canoe trip or something,
25:20it'll just be like a dream.
25:22We'll be talking like, can you remember?
25:26We woke up at six, which wasn't bad. We thought it was five because it was so dark.
25:36I walked down to Surrette's already.
25:38Oh, did you?
25:40And I went out in the field and I could not see one animal.
25:57It's the final morning.
26:01In a moment, they'll harness Duke and Diamond for the last time.
26:05There's plans for Daisy.
26:07She's going to a petting zoo while the horses are going back to their former owner.
26:14We've gotten very close to them.
26:16And when we first came here a year ago, when we'd come out into the field,
26:21they'd go the other direction.
26:23And now when we come out and give them a call, they come right to us.
26:26So we developed quite a relationship with them.
26:29I mean, I realize they're just animals and that, you know,
26:32two days after we leave, they'll forget about us,
26:34but we're not going to forget about them.
26:36And they've become quite a part of our life.
26:39He's my favorite.
26:42He always gets a little extra brush.
26:45I went for a walk first thing this morning, which was nice
26:50because I got to settle my thoughts sort of scary.
26:54What's going to happen when we leave here?
26:58How we're going to feel?
27:00Excited to see my boys.
27:02That's probably the most predominant thought,
27:05or at least talk to them today.
27:07Scary because we have a news conference.
27:10And all those people out there that all of a sudden
27:17we're going to be with a lot of people.
27:20As much as I'm a people lover, all of a sudden it's a little bit scary.
27:26It's going to be so busy.
27:28I know my mind's just going to be racing.
27:30And here it has it raced.
27:40But now I walk through theseå· wraps around the pricing.
27:44Yeah.
27:45I've got to go through these clothes for fridge once.
27:46I don't know where my strangest I'd exalt from the lighting.
27:48Why are you gonna leave my life here?
27:49I can't wait.
27:50I've staveled outxton salad like that one day.
27:52I feel proud of myself.
27:53I haven'thindered this.
27:55How were you now?
27:56I felt like seems to be released all the chickens.
27:58How is you now?
27:59Patians!
28:01You're not going to arrive here.
28:02I'll just move that board at the back oh yeah I'll push it in

28:56I guess that's the last one
29:08yep there it is

31:53Yes, yes, yes, yes.
32:23How does it feel to end in the rain?
32:36It's a lot easier to leave like this, remembering all those memories of rain and mosquitoes.
32:41It is easier.
32:42If it was a beautiful day, it might have been a bit more difficult, but you're bringing
32:46back memories as we travel down that road.
32:48What were you feeling when you went past that underweight colony?
32:52The first real, boy, it really hit me, it really hit me.
33:03Those people have meant so much to us, and they've been so kind to us, and in one year
33:07we feel like we've got family there.
33:13Yeah, are you going to sort of say goodbye to your children?
33:24It's going to look strange.

37:11Thank you very much.
37:12You did a wonderful job.

37:55Yes.
37:56Yes.
38:01Just go.
38:02Head to the side.
38:03Head to the side.
38:04How does it feel to be back in reality?
38:06Wet?
38:07No.
38:08How does it feel for you?
38:09If I came home?
38:10It's familiar this rain.
38:11It's a limo dry.
38:12Oh, great.
38:13Oh great, I think you should have met us out in the rain there Jamie.
38:43One minute we felt like laughing and we were like yippee, we got toothpaste and baths and then we were ready to cry.
38:56We looked at our cabin window and it's empty and it's strange. Ups and downs, a lot of them.
39:03I think we're excited to see our families and we're sad to go back to a rushed life.
39:07I think too we put so much work into everything, the houses and just sort of a lot of work into the land.
39:14It didn't show what we did and I think it was just hard to walk away from that.
39:19When you take on the role or take on a lifestyle and that became our lifestyle.
39:25Pioneering, we were pioneers and all four of us adapted that lifestyle that we were pioneers.
39:32I know they stress the, in parts of the show they stress the four of us not getting along with each other.
39:38I think we did really well and I don't know how it was portrayed in the movies, I've never seen it.
39:43But I think the four of us worked together really well and through everything we had to put up with.
39:50I don't think four people could have got along any better than we did.
39:54Did we stay in touch now do you think?
39:57I think definitely.
39:59The thing is that nobody out there has experienced what we have experienced and can relate to what we have.
40:04And I think that's something that we'll have as a bond together forever.
40:08Do you mind if I say a few words?
40:12Our biggest fans have been our three sons and we want to publicly thank them for sacrificing their parents for a year.
40:18Without their support we could have never done this.
40:20Our youngest son David always wrote on his letters,
40:23Stick it mum.
40:24Well today, David I stuck it.
40:26Home sweet mum.
40:27Is there two bathrooms in here?
40:30Oh my, oh my.
40:33Alanna, you have to try this.
40:35Oh my, oh my.
40:53Alana you have to try this we oh it gives and everything oh
41:04I don't have to make the straw settle down I actually sleep with all my worldly possessions
41:13around me time to run the bath see you guys coming out a different woman oh well
41:23back in the real world this is wonderful I like speechless in here almost as good as the old
41:36slew what do you think of our new bed spread pretty fancy a couple lowly nothings lazy pioneers well
41:52it's our first night in our hotel first night in civilization yeah I don't even know where
41:58to start it's been a crazy day today so anyway this is wonderful right now but I think I'll
42:06wear off pretty quick and yeah it's not as exciting as we thought it was gonna be
42:22it was the chance of a lifetime I mean I'll never regret it never I mean I think we're just so lucky
42:44that we had the chance to do it we'll never be able to you know recreate it or there's no place you
42:59can go to to do it again so it's amazing to be on the diphtonate the wood shingles nails they're just
43:14things but the people who who we connected all with that's that that's the key
43:21I have come to admire pioneers and they're my hero never thought you know never thought about them much
43:35before but they are my heroes today
43:38so they got the sporty car
43:57that's not fair we've got the grandpa
44:00we'll see if I can trust my wife's driving
44:05no I don't want to get in here I don't know what you're doing
44:09I have to get out of here
44:10I don't want to get out of here
44:11you might want to help me here Tim
