Concordia = letdown

After seven hours of sandbagging!
James, Anna, Andrew, Seana, Lucy, Stephen

Walking around to random houses asking if anyone needs help.
In the distance on the right you can see one of the many sandbag-filling sites.

Our first site today: Rachel's uncle's friend's house.
This is the first section of our zipper-line to pass sandbags along.
It extended three times this length around the back of the house.
The pile of sandbags to move was as tall as me and a block long...

Here's the partially-constructed dike.
We extended it the length of the block...yowsers!

Random thought of the moment: Trying to eat was interesting tonight. We were in so much pain that we could barely pick up our plates to carry them through the dinner line.

Anyway, Concordia decided not to cancel class tomorrow. I am thoroughly disappointed. Though I'm not sure it would have been the best idea, I certainly would have sandbagged all day tomorrow if class wasn't being held. Bummer. I guess Team Evac vs. Red River will be put on hold for a while - it will have to be up to MSUM/NDSU (oh and we met volunteers from St. Cloud and Bismarck today!). So I suppose best of luck to them! Wish we could be out there fighting too.

I posted some pictures to lighten the mood! Well, sort of... :)
