I took a field trip today, to a place called Janes Gravel (No apostrophe is correct. I checked.) It's just past Slaton, at the rim of the canyon, and sort of shocking to see - especially the signs that say "mining zone"! This place is a maze of piles of variously-sized gravel, boulders, sand, etc.
It's where the big trucks come in to get rock for highway projects, or where weekend-project-doers come for a trailer load of cheap gravel. And the guy loading the gravel was amazing - he got the whole load right into the trailer.
Slaton, Texas
