You need to be a more-faithful reader of the almost-daily diary. :-)

 You'd know about the Triceratops (which you didn't mention; it's closer to 
the road) and the Mammoth. They've been there for a while; after last 
winter's rains, the Mammoth had fallen on its side and stayed that way for a 
while. It was pretty sad. And of course, I have photos...

For the story, go to www.ChainReaction.com/diary.htm and scroll down to the 
3/14/10 entry. In the future it will be easier for me to reference such 
things, as I've changed over to a blog format.

Yep, I should have posted that here, forgot to. I did post about it in the 
blog, here- 
http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/2010/09/06/does-everybody-know-you/ so 
it's been there for at least a week.

Thanks, we might have to do an alternate route for our 
Tuesday/Thursday-morning ride then. They've had signs saying there would be 
road work between 8/30 and 9/20 if I recall correctly, but so far, we 
haven't seen anything on Kings. Thanks for the heads-up!

Yep, it wold be nice if they'd actually resurface, rather than just embed 
gravel.
