‘Crete Haul: Nat Geo Edition

June 24, 2010 |  by Brooke Tansley

Yesterday was a b-b-b-bear, ya’ll.

We headed down to Montebello to rent our stake truck.

Here’s what we were facing:

Get it done.

This is where the day got all National Geographic on us.

Eaten.

Sorry, lil’ guy.

We pick up every piece, put in the wheel barrow, dump it into the truck, and pick each piece up again at the recycling center and throw it.

Every piece.

Here’s the progress throughout the day:

at 0 wheel barrow loads in truck

at 10 wheel barrow loads in truck

at 20 wheel barrow loads in truck

at 30 wheel barrow loads in truck

at 41 wheel barrow loads in truck

Part 2 later…
