Big Loads - Post Photos

Here is a reverse angle on an earlier pic I posted. Just north of cayucos, ca. on Hwy 1. Morro Rock is barely visible above axles 8-9. I am getting to the bottom of the proverbial "barrel" or shoebox in this case, of interesting photos. I have had a great time looking at the old pics I took & each one reminds me of a story that could be told with the pic. It also makes me think of the thousands of photos I DIDN'T take. ( Hanging on the side of a hill hooked to a cable from a D-8 Cat with load of pipe comes to mind) Draging a 35mm camera out every time something was hauled just wasn't practical and I never used a digital camera till 2009. And on the retirement part, today I hauled a JD skiploader, Cat CP563, IT-28G, and finished with a 320 excavator. Thats what retirement is like!! lol

 

Here's a daytime picture of that load. After getting to the truck at 6am and being ready to roll, I find out that the permit hadn't come in the day before, so I sat until 1430 when it finally came through. Then looking at the permit, I was only permitted for 13'9" when I was 15'9".
Luckily I was just doing it locally so I just ran with it

 

Is that a loader used in a granite mine? That is an awfully big loader for those little forks.

 

Yeah, that's exactly where I dropped it off at.

 

Same as you. We've met several times. I drive for someone who you're not too fond of. Last time I saw you was a rig move in December, I think..

 

ok, You and your lady just had a baby right. Your name starts with a M??
How you doing

 

Here is one from our web site from 2 summers ago. I did not haul these but it turned out to be a cool photo.

 

Another one from last summer. I did haul these ones.

 

That is Montana on 80 for the repairs/improvements between Stanford and Geraldine? I was hauling shacks through there last summer.

 

Actually this was on 89 just north of Gardiner. The previous day we hauled 22k larger boxes to Monarch, also on 89 but bu north... I think the Stanford stuff may have been hauled in last year before I started as it was a large project. I think the stanford stuff was blocks and these are boxes being used for culverts under the road.
