( stopping dump trucks to the US base at the quarry) 30 people came to the quarry to stop the dump trucks to the base at 7:30 in the morning. The people drove their cars very slowly for the trucks not to go to the quarry. They succeeded to stop the trucks to go to the quarry to get sediment by 10:30. Some people went to Shiokawa port where sediment was taken into ships. However, 50 national defense bureau were there at the port, to their surprise. Due to the bad weather condition, only 1 truck was succeeded to take sediment into the ship. The weather was with us!
