Does My Big Trailer Fit In The Quarry? - Stone Donation to The Stone Trust

This was my first foray into the quarry with my 21 foot gooseneck trailer. The road is steep, rough and narrow, and there is not much space to turn around. My objective is to get loaded up with 11,000 pounds of granite to donate to a project facilitated by The Stone Trust.
Go check out The Stone Trust at:

Sign up for a workshop if you are interested, take it from me, it is worthwhile!

CLIFF HANGER!! I just got home from the quarry and found that I left you folks hanging! I didn't export the video properly, and only uploaded half of it. I am correcting this right now, and will have the rest of the video available soon. My bad!!

[@FattyPasta]

All good but i have to tell ya, i'm on the edge of my seat!

[@Libbathegreat]

No worries, we'll stay tuned.

[@lisapressey7361]

Lol more fun

No worries’My buddy Alfred!’ Btw you need a ‘my buddy Morgan’ song

Great cliff-hanger....literally!

Me too

Ok I am adding my 4th in the curiosity of how does this end.

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

My buddy Alfred. He is the man of stone. He bought himself a quarry to teach about the best way to rock. Wonder if Nessy is in his lock. Welcome to KZbin! Your son did well ☺️

[@zazazipper9331]

I can't read this without singing the "maaayyyyy buddy Alfred" tune in my head" (edit for a typo, it said ready this instead of read this)

[@SSDD_NYC]

Yep, Toby and Abby sent me here too!!

[@janpack1569]

Sixth video and already giving us cliff hangers!!! I have a feeling you certainly got the hang of KZbin very quickly. Looking forward to Part Two.

[@macroisthemicro]

What cliffhanger of an ending... darn. Can't wait to see how this ends. Wish you much success.

[@dataviser]

That was the best ending you could have done, though. Giving us a cliff hanger! Will Alfred get his truck out?! Stay tuned! Sure will catch the next one!

[@piperleelee]

Glad you were not hurt. Hope there is a continuation to this video. Did not expect to have the video end as a cliffhanger. Nice to see your son working with you.

[@MiaMariaSiler]

I was driving the riding lawn mower when I was 7 and it gave me a lot of self-confidence!

[@vs-iw6rc]

Aww, think video s cut off on a cliff hanger :0

[@gregsullivan8956]

Not a good ending for return viewing!

[@zazazipper9331]

How awesome that you brought your boy with you. I drove huge John Deere tractors when I was about that age. When I tell people now they're baffled and react in a negative way, but it was so common then for kids to operate heavy farm machinery. Under supervision of course and not out on the open road. (I'm not against safety rules at all, but driving a tractor or a cat along with your dad on your own terrain should be fine) Good for you! (edit: I live in western Europe if that makes a difference) I didn't know such a thing as The Stone Trust existed. Good to see you went and looked for a useful destination for those stones Edit because I commented before the end of the video: Oh no! Now what do you do? How do you get it unstuck?

[@HELENGodLoves]

Contact HEAVY D KZbin fellows ... They go about getting people unstuck.

[@janetmatte7991]

Hello Alfred; I am very interested in watching you on KZbin. About 100 years ago my Grandfather had a quarry just over the Canadian border, in Philipsburg Quebec /Highgate. The quarry is still up and running but it is no longer in the family. He quarried marble but I am sure he had many of the same and experiences you are having. Thanks for all the great times you share with us. J

[@arritoukiros7063]

Peaceful drive through the quarry, love to see it

[@dorisieva175]

Came over from gold shaw. Can't wait to learn more about stone. I love stone walls and give you a lot of credit on how it's done. I think some stone walls are a work of art and some not so good. You love it so I'm sure your walls are beautiful. Can't wait to see them

[@jd9351]

Oldest boy! He's a little boy! He must be thrilled to do such a job.

[@ginah-t]

Oh no.. can't wait for the update. Your son did a great job driving the machine up.

[@harrisonstewart4943]

Toby says hi!

[@cherylhuot4436]

Love that you have your boy elbow deep in your projects! Most young men have never had the opportunity to learn these skills and go through life not knowing how to fix or problem solve anything! So sad. Yikes ! Hope everything is OK!!!

[@kresimirbazijanec3730]

Hey Gang, Great Posting, saw you on GOLD Shaw farms, looking forward to your postings and adventures 👍

[@anitraahrens905]

It's sure a tricky situation.

Its all ways fun using big equipment in a small area. Good luck with the quarry.

[@toothpick7797]

I Love your video...very enjoyable and can't wait to see what happens...

[@microslavery]

That is a tight squeeze of a drive.

[@rennemichaels2706]

Oh my. While it won't make you feel any better, my Mr Wonderful once put his Ram Extended nose down, ass up in a ditch just trying to make a turn at an intersection. Honestly, neither I nor the tow truck guy could figure out how he missed seeing the ditch. You at least have the excuse of tight quarters and limited visibility.

[@KingKang1310DolphinPanda7]

Hi

[@mariehesler6718]

I’m worried! Will Alfred and Amos be stranded at the quarry? 🪨

[@bekind3931]

Great video! Except the falling off the road part. Love the drum beat at the start, the drive up, the camera on the back showing the scenery and the trail, seeing the CAT in front, the music, the thought balloons on your kid … just everything. Sooo good! Oh, and watching you work the CAT. It’s like a toy; really cool, hope we see more. The vid ended kinda abruptly, but I understand. Hope getting your truck back on the road wasn’t too hard. You’ll have to tell us how it went.

[@zaug1561]

He messed up exporting the video he said. 2nd half coming soon!

[@brightautistic]

An actual cliffhanger ending... Hope you're both okay 😃

[@thaliaramos4997]

[@margaretannfrank5480]

Wow! That was a tight fit! It was fun to see your little guy helping out. He looks like a very impressive boy. You must be very proud.

[@AParr-cp4ib]

Hello there, Alfred. Brand new subscriber here. I am loving your new(ish) channel. I know nothing - zip - about granite or stone masonry, but am finding your vids very informative and interesting! I can't imagine what it must have been like for you when you first set eyes on your new quarry property. As a stone mason, it must have been like looking at a gold mine for most people. For a stone mason, it must have been magic! Suggestion for future video (if I may so presume!): How you first heard about this property, what it was like when you first visited, and. . . all of that kind of thing, and more on the stones, of course. Do keep up the good work. I can't imagine how tiring it must be doing the stone mason thing and trying to start a KZbin channel at the same time - but I think you might have a winner here!! Congratulations!

[@RandyLea]

Not to spoil the plot or anything, but Alfred made an emergency call to Morgan. Morgan put a harness on Toby Dog, brought him up the mountain and used his massive strength to rescue the truck from the ditch.

[@barbarahouk1983]

Lol, TY for the fictional account and huge laugh that makes Toby Dog a super hero.

[@vermontheritagegranitecomp2062]

Toby's animal magnetism actually pulled the truck out

[@JB-um4tr]

Good thing Alfred has his Excavator... I like the odds that might prove useful in this situation to pull the truck out... Looks like we have some time to wait and see... Nice suspense on this one, Alfred!

[@cerealspiller]

[@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515]

I applaud your cool. I may have been more... colorful, but you did well.

[@Libbathegreat]

Haha excellent point.

[@tinasachs8688]

Oh no! What a cliffhanger- no pun intended. I was afraid of the trailer veering off the road and its weight pulling the truck down, as you were making your way up. That sped up footage of clearing the area with the excavater remindet me of the old Sinbad movies. Must be the way everything moves kind of haltingly. Hope you got the truck off the road situation solved without too much trouble.

[@RandyLea]

I think you need a loading dock where you can drive your trailer through, if you have room. Good to hear you survived.

[@LpoolDogLover]

Hi Amos! He is a big help! Alfred, you left us hanging there LOL. Thanks for the video.

[@ronaldschmidt4748]

Haha, you have left us with half of the story..... to be continued. Well I will be back! Meanwhile, I am impressed with Amos, your 9 yo. He did well at driving that excavator. This is a real world problem. TY for sharing but I am on this cliff hanging out here, just waiting "for the rest of the story " as Paul Harvey would say 😜

whaaaattttt???? so many unanswered questions waiting to be asked. Or unread comments. whichever comes first. I don't think my parents would have trusted me to drive heavy equipment at 9.
