Are you doing a cinderblock retaining wall? Forgive me for asking, but it's not like you have a lot of soil to 'retain'??

Hmm, something to think about, if you use cinder blocks to build the wall, get some more decorative field stone, and lay them vertically in front of the cinder block to add some coolness factor to it, and you can plant flowers and stuff in the openings of the top level of cinder blocks. Looks pretty sweet when finished. Just something to think about so you don't have exposed cinder block...

I guess these are like cinder blocks.. they have openings on the top, but thats more for filling with more rock to make the wall strong.. they will also see slightly off-set from the lower... and Serena wants to do rocks/flowers in front of the wall.. Ill fb you a diagram lol

There was a guy set up out there taking pictures so I hope I can get some of those to post up once he uploads. The drive was so scenic and nice, I wouldn't mind doing that run every weekend if closer. We stopped after the first part to eat at a biker bar. Man the feeling when walking in there was like: .
After eating, the Austin crew decided to head back as we were already 3 1/2 hours away from home. I was supposed to ride back with an Austin GTR but that got dashed since he was finishing the run. I'm going to get a nap in before heading out to wash Maverick for tomorrow's meet. Here are the best crappy cell phone shots I could get.[quote]
Glad you had a satisfying day chica!!!
