Registration area. Volunteers received instructions,
Disaster Response T-shirts, garbage bags, and gloves for anyone that
didn't bring their own. |
 |
One of many crews heads into wet fields with hay
wagons, four wheelers, and lots of people. |
 |
In comes another load, materials were stacked on or near
the road right-of-way, to be picked up by Manitowoc County Highway
Department crews. |
 |
The pile grows..... pretty good for an hour
and a half's worth of work! The furthest pieces were 5/8 mile from
the shed they came off. |
 |
 |
The Mancheske farm done, it's on to the next one. |
 |
Knew you would want to see the Mrs., sporting her nice
bonnet, here she is! |
 |
The top half of this barn gone, volunteers start to comb the fields
for debris |
 |
New buildings start to pop up. |
 |
The old and the new, side by side..... |
 |
and across the road from it, the crew works on
demolition..... |
 |
Another crew 1/4 mile from the one above. The
machinery still stands were a metal machine shed used to protect it. |
 |
Manitowoc County Highway works on picking up what owners
and volunteers piled
on the right of way, this shot on Highway 'C;. |
 |
Heading south from C towards 'Borgwardt Hill'. |
 |
This still shiny new place was spared, luckily it was 1/2
mi from the edge of the destruction....... |
 |
With three farmsteads almost leveled, she still has a
smile for the helpers. |
 |
How many can there be?? |
 |
This garage was being built the time the storm hit, but
now it
gets a new roof. |
 |
A volunteer picks up shingles and wood on one of the
Borgwardt farms. |

 |
Strips through woodlots look like this, mile after mile. |
Back for lunch, the crews are glad to get a break.
Sub-sandwiches taste mighty good!

 |
Valders High School students ready to head out for more,
thanks guys!! |
 |
Waiting for the next assignment. |
 |
A house on J awaits a roof, siding, and a few windows. |
 |
Not much left to this one.
I love those doors.... so much that we didn't know was art will
soon be gone.
|
 |
Sadly the doors are about all that is spared.
This is the
top side of the barn in the above photo. |
 |
Inside the basement of the same barn, 125 years old? |
 |
The crew just north of St. Nazianz. |
 |
The mobile home court is almost gone.... |
 |
Packing one per roll-off unit. |
 |
This box resting next to where a family's mobile home
stood at the St. Nazianz mobile home park says it all. This is
just as it was sitting.... |
 |
A tired but happy Valders crew finishes Marie's homestead
