Just had to post one of the best photos taken during the sandbagging efforts in North Dakota and Minnesota as the Red River began to flood a couple weeks ago. It really sums up the attitude and overall morale of the sandbaggers. Despite being tired, overworked and a little bit stressed out, everyone seemed positive, confident and generally lighthearted about the situations they were in.
The photo was taken at “Sandbag Central” in Fargo, ND. Pictured holding the hat is @emjayess.
