More gravel

 Today's first stop was Menefee Stone. I just left the scale house here and headed up to the stone piles. #57 stone is at the top of the hill to the left.
 Nothing runs like a Deere. This one seemed to run just fine. It is big enough to run right over my truck, but the guys here really know what they are doing.
 He poured .87 tons in the bed, a pretty good load for a half ton truck.
 Most of the load was used filling in the corner of the driveway to the sidewalk. It was rounded before. Now it's nice and square. That left me with a couple extra sidewalk stones.
I tightened them up and made them straight again. I also started a small gravel walkway to the shed, but only got a couple of feet done. A ton of stone sounds like a lot, but it doesn't go very far.
