Day 64 - Twin Falls Build Day

For our build today we went to the ReStore in Twin Falls. Some groups worked inside, combining and reorganizing paint and carrying out other odd jobs. I worked outside digging holes for fence posts that we eventually cemented in.
Joel and I worked as a team, busting through rock, making sure the holes were 2 feet deep. Note: my leg is in the hole.
Joel and I's teamwork today was magical; so much so that we acquired shovel riding skills. Look out, Harry Potter. There are new seekers in town. 
At one point we hit a standstill because of a huge rock that was in the way. Fortunately, Reuben is a beast and after a long bout he ended up taking the rock out. 
Joel felt left out so I took a picture of him with the rock that he dug out of the hole.
One of the Habitat staff members invited us over for dinner. It was so nice to be in a real house, with real pet cats and stuff. I miss normal life... Bike and Build life on the road is getting old and tiresome. 
FINALLY! I've been waiting for some Idaho potatoes! These were loaded with bacon and jalapenos and they were delicious!
After dinner we went to Shoshone Falls, "the Niagara of the West". Shoshone Falls tumbles 212 feet to the canyon floor, more than 50 feet further than the famous falls on the New York-Ontario border. The falls are in full form in the spring. At that time the entire upper left section of rock is covered with water.
Before turning in, we watched the sun set in the canyon. The end.
The Catty Corner:
Me: "Finally, some chill music in this van"
Erika: "Finally, some MOVEMENT in this van. Aright, I'm done being a jerk."
