Things are slowly returning to normal. Today they opened Highway 55 from Pembina to Neche. No more driving to Neche via Bathgate! This afternoon four men started to take out the dike closure on main street. I ran home to put on my work clothes with good intentions of helping but I barely had time to get my gloves muddy before they were done with the center section. This will make the trip a lot shorter for those who live in So Pembina and the guys going over there almost every day to work on the golf course. The end sections will come out in the next day or two.
