after just over three months and nearly 600 inspections, the trip has come to an end. i met some great people, and had some unforgettable experiences. will i do it again? i guess i'll have to wait till the phone rings and see how i feel then.
please scroll down to see the last of the photos before you go.... (click on 'em, they get bigger...use your 'back' button to return to the blog)
it was good to be able to help poeple who for various reasons could not help themselves. in a disaster of this scale, people can't turn to friends and family, because in most cases they are all in the same boat. (no pun intended)
i hope that the people who need help, get help. i hope that those who return are willing to work very hard to get their homes, their community, and their lives back to normal. the government will eventually fix the roads, bridges, infrastructure stuff..... it takes a lot of work to put a community back together.
i met a few who are already doing just that......
