Gravel found and moved.

Pete joined Arly on Thursday afternoon to search for gravel around the old sand pit area at the top of Sisu Hill.    Pat suggested we look east of the old sand pit.   The reason we're looking for gravel was because this needs to be used as a ramp on the abutment that we've already completed and this material will stay put, not wash way or go into the creek.

Poking around with shovels, we found some among the grass.
But how much gravel is really here? 
Mark's three point blade he loaned us goes into action.

We could only see after the humus was removed.
We didn't want dirt anyway.

 

After a area was scraped clean, we found what appeared to be nice gravel.

This looks good!

First load comes down.  This trailer was again put to serious work.

Wow, this is really some nice material!

It's pebbles, sand with some clay mixed in.

This was just the gravel type we wanted here.

By late in the afternoon, many loads, maybe 6 tons worth
had been shuttled down.
