Gravel pile all spread

I called the quarry in Frenchburg on Monday and got a load of rock delivered for the driveway. It was a good sized load - just over 26 tons.
I borrowed Harry's tractor to fill in the area right next to the shed. Jessica will be parking there now. I intend to move the camper out onto the driveway and needed more driveway for that.
The tractor is a smaller one, but has a bucket and did the job very well.
I filled in across the back wall during the week with a shovel and 5 gallon pails. I was working very close to the wall and the boat and didn't want any damage. Heather helped me clear out the rest of the carport this morning.
It didn't take very long to get it filled in and smoothed out. We won't be sinking in the mud now.
We also put out the frame Allen built for the horses' water trough when he was here. We filled it with gravel and Heather put stall mats over it to help protect their feet. The last remaining part of the pile was spread across the driveway. I tried to fill in some low spots and got it all smoothed out. I think it looks good.
