Dolese quarry still rock solid after a century-plus

RICHARDS SPUR – Virtually everything at Dolese’s rock quarry here is B-I-G!  The tires on one front-end loader used to scoop up stones of various sizes are approximately 7 feet in diameter. A reservoir at the quarry encompasses several acres and is more than a hundred feet deep.
