Thanks!!  Salgado is my inspiration here.  The stones are sorted according
to size.  Small and medium sizes are sent to crushers - photos coming.
Large ones are loaded in trucks and sent right across the border to India.
The same thing is going on in India and they are shipping large truckloads
of rock into Bangladesh.  I have no idea why they are going back and forth
across the border, but they are used in road building mostly.
