Gravel - the pits. This area is a hotspot for digging up gravel. You usually can't tell that you are driving alongside a gravel pit as they are supposed to always be disguised from the road. So, you're enjoying the scenery and just over the mound by the road is a scene like this old gravel pit that has filled in with water. There is a battle going on right now here between the owners of the gravel pits and those who own property adjacent to the pits. I feel for both sides. After all, everyone uses gravel and wants to purchase it, but no one wants to live next to where it is dug up. It has to come from somewhere. If only they all had a golf hole in the middle.
