On my way home from mtb camp today I got passed by the political motorcade coming out to see our hole in Skyline Road. The cameras were flashing and the video cameras rolling. It is hard to believe so many people would stop to look at this small problem when other areas in the city are completely destroyed. Would it be great if we could use our cars to get places? Certainly. However, when biking around and seeing so many with so much loss, the lack of using a car means nothing to me. I still cannot believe there hasn't been any reported deaths.
Mayor Ness, Senator Klobuchar, Senator Franken, Rep. Cravaack along with County Commissioners checking out the damage.

This is Fond du Lac. Sara's up to her waist. These folks need all the help they can get. We can wait.
In the past two days I've pedaled for 16 hours. It has been a ton of stop and go to take pictures, but riding has become a necessity to get food, go to work, etc.

It's great to have your perspective in photos and writing. I'm temporarily part of the City crew assessing damage and beginning work on the parks. We checked out the Western Waterfront Trail, Chester and Spirit/Magney yesterday.
