They Have been doing a bunch of construction on highway 17 for a while now and I noticed at the pull out where Sugar Loaf Rd is on 17 there are some HUGE piles of dirt with signs saying free dirt. Looks like pretty rock free dirt too. Might be worth a truck bed full for some building...

Just figured I would give a heads up.

Same thought was running through my head.

I have access to a small Nissan P/U for such hauling if there's a place to put it. Just need to get my Steelhead frame built up...

Hmmmm..... I've got a toyota tundra and some shovels that I'd be willing to lend to this project. I'm in the same boat though, got the tools, down to build, but nowhere to do it.

I built one in the back of Kelly's apartment when she lived on campus at csumb, we've got another hidden one way out in the sticks too, but too far away to get a truck with dirt in. I've got Lee's e-book on this computer here somewhere too... I can help if you're going to build one, someone just has to reign me in when it comes to decreasing radius berms though :D

Wow Todd, I didn't know you were so serious. Haha we rode by your yard yesterday and it really isn't bad at all. If I wasn't renting I would have one in my yard haha But I am game to help out Todd.

I'm not sure if I can come over tonight to help plan because I have an interview right after work and also I need to drive my friend to the airport after that.

Another morning ride on Monday (for whoever would like to join). 7am. Usually finished by 8.

I'll have to go check that out. I live in the fields in watsonville and used to have a couple step downs, a nice kicker and a double that I wouldn't mind rebuilding. Along with some other goodies.
