THE DIGGING IS SLOW GOING. A CHAIN LINK FENCE, EVERY BOULDER, EVERY TREE ALL
BURIED IN CURRENTS OF MUD BLOCK THE WAY TO POSSIBLE VICTIMS.
"You dig a couple of inches and you hit a big boulder so now you have to dig a
hole - to get a two foot hole, you have to dig a ten foot hole - to get the
rocks out of the way, to get down where we want to go."
WHERE THEY WANT TO GO ARE THE REMAINS OF ST. SOPHIA CAMP - A BUILDING THAT WAS
ONCE TWO STORIES - NOW REDUCED TO ONE. INSIDE, MEMORIES OF SUMMERS PAST IN
STARK CONTRAST TO THE DEVASTATION OF THE PAST FEW DAYS - PEOPLE SWEPT AWAY AND
POSSIBLY BURIED.
"They had two good hits. The dogs had two good hits on both those strainers so
that would be where we'd want to focus our attention right now."
CADAVER DOGS SNIFFED THE SAND AND WHATEVER RESCUERS FIND TO ZERO IN ON THE
DEAD.
"The dogs are incredible because you can walk over an area time and time again
and then the dogs can smell a scent."
FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THE MISSING AND DEAD GATHERED HOPING TO FIND OUT THE FATE
OF THEIR LOVED ONES. IT MIGHT BE A LONG WAIT.
"Because of the force of the water and mud, there could be people miles away
from here out of the actual area that's being searched on foot."
THE AREA BEING SEARCHED STEP BY STEP IS FOUR AND HALF MILES LONG BY A HALF MILE
WIDE. SAINT SOPHIA CAMP SITS AT THE TOP. THE PLACE WHERE ALL THE LEFTOVERS OF
