Dondero Quarry in Jackson, CA

This is the Dondero Quarry, long abandoned, near Jackson, CA where my 300-pound California marble block came from.  We hiked in for a mile on a dirt road to reach the quarry.  Imagine hauling large blocks of marble out on a wagon pulled by mules. Some of the marble was used in San Francisco and Stanford University. I have carved three different sculptures from the block with more to come. - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1174607069217286.1073742089.391245360886798&type=3
