Rock Collecting

We need some rocks to build a small retaining wall.  So ever in search of a good deal, I heard that if you call the rock quarry in Milton Freewater, they will let you come on Fridays at 1:30 and hand pick your rocks for $26.00/ton.  So off Dakota and I went.  He took the pictures while I loaded .75 tons of rock.    Needless to say that my back was tired after .75 tons and it sure looked like a lot in the back of the truck.  But when I unloaded it...I assessed that I will need at least 2 more loads that size.  I think I will take Stuart with me next time.


He also got to watch a hydrolic hammer break apart rocks and a big rock loader putting big rocks into a big truck. 

Dakota always gets the most interesting perspectives of the world. 

 Here you can see me loading rocks in the mirror.

And here is the treasured big tractors working.
