- Hi Katy,
- we have the same problem along the side of our house. We recently put on
- our leather gloves and drove to some of the rock slides along Hwy 9 and
- Bear Creek. We gathered up larger rocks (about 6-8 inches in diameter) and
- put them next to the asphalt and the ditch. This has helped temendously,
- however, we need to make about 10 more trips for rock collecting before the
- winter is thru :-( .

- Kathryn.
- ps. Just how are those llama of your??? :-)
