"I think I know where Woodchuck Rd. is." "Oh, this can't be it." "Where in the world is Woodchuck?" That is pretty much how it started for me today. Jake (my sidekick) and I headed out to Potosi to find the house on Woodchuck Rd. I tried to find it on Mapquest and Google Maps, but it isn't listed. So I figure that I can probably find it. After the road that I was on came to an end and said "Private Property" from that point on, I knew that we weren't in the right place. I made a phone call to the fantastic youth minister of Potosi Southern Baptist Church, Joel. He gave me some great directions and helped guide me right to the site. And what did I find there? The Knot Heads of course!
The Knot Heads crew was very busy doing yard work and filling in a large ditch. I got to talk a little with Laura from Goshen Trails who explained what they were going to working on this week. I also talked a little with Melissa (Corticelli), Trent (Wilsonville), Austin (Corticelli), and Henry (First Korean Baptist Church) as they shoveld dirt, red clay, and ashes into a wheel-barrow and emptied it into a large ditch that they were trying to fill. Trent wanted me to mention him in my blog specifically, but I don't think that I will do that. Further down, continuing to work on the ditch, I found Nathan (Central) and Suzanna (Wilsonville) working together. Macey (Benton), Laura (Goshen Trail), and Dayon (Florence, AL) were all at the end of the ditch trying to fill it in as well. Macey was giving it all she had as she pushed a very large rock into the opening all by herself. Good job Macey. As I was headed back to my car, I heard Henry proclaim that he had just found a dead body with a World Changers shirt on. We were wondering if this was a Jr. High student from last year that gave his crew chief too much trouble. (I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, there wasn't any body or anything else for that matter). I figured that it was time to move on and on the way out, I got a chance to talk with Josh, the Crew Chief. Things seemed to be working very smooth at this site. I so very carefully backed up and made it out of the driveway and headed toward the next site, which was in Leadwood.
