Hey Nick... I saw the gravel you were talking about... Is that the stuff you
have dumped behind that one building at the zoo???.. It's all a light color
right??? Ohio luckystone, right???.. Yes, that's nice too. There is a local
suply place here, that has darker colored gravel, it's mined near the
Cuyahoga River in Shallersville, off st. rt. 303. Between Windham and
Streetsboro. Here in Warren, at the local concrete supply, I can go in with
a 5 gallon bucket, and fill it up for .50 cents Rob C.
