Eddyville, Iowa
This quarry is located west of Eddyville, Iowa. I come down here once a month for a Girl Scout leader's meeting and always pass by. Decided today was the day to stop. The quarry is Douds Stone, Inc.

No sign of any big pit. Just the front gate and sign that says it is a quarry.

This is the N.A.P. quarry entrance located in Andrew County just south of Savannah Missouri.

The Nicasio Rock quarry is near the geographic center of Marin County, just north of San Francisco. Although some have raised concerns about it, the quarry supplies rock and gravel to the many ranches in the rural part of the county.

This limestone quarry is located along Rt #66 in Washinton County, Maryland. I visited during a workday. I was given a yellow hardhat and directed to the northern rim overlooking the pit. I grew up next to a limestone quarry and visiting this one brought back many memories. Thanks for the fun. Pix to follow

I've found this quarry in location between Devin and Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

We came across this quarry while on holiday in Cornwall and doing another cache. There were a number of lorries operating near the public footpath which goes through the quarry.

Working quarry in Alltami, Flintshire. I was only able to photograph from the gate due to restrictions.

this is the rock cut plant and quarry near cumberland, md, located on rock cut road, off md route 36. the quarry is on the west side of wills mountain and has been in operation under different owners for as long as i can remember. i remember my dad pointing out the steam-shovels at work on the mountain when i was young:) the quarry has left a huge scar on the side of the mountain, we could see it from the "all down hill from here" cache which is 8 miles away on big savage mountain. thanks for the cache, julia51:)

We found the Stony Point Rock Quarry in Cotati, California. For those of you familiar with Sonoma County, it's just north of the Washoe House- the oldest roadhouse in the state- on Stony Point Road). It's a small quarry that's been in operation since the "early part of the last century" (according to a trade article in Pit&Quarry). Besides the "normal" quarry products, this quarry has a unique venture with Soils Plus to create lanscaping products.

This was fun to discover. Thanks for the find!

This quary name is "Cisarsky". It means "Emperors" and is located near Sluknov (N51 00.253 E14 27.183), the northest city in Czech Republic.

This is a stone quarry just outside of Fairdale IL. They use the gravel for the roads in the area. This was the best shot I could get.

New Milford Quarry, New Milford, PA
Bluestone quarry

Found this Quarry near Virgin, UT

Most of the quarries around Hurricane, Utah, extract sand, gravel, and volcanic cinders. This quarry has been around for at least 30 years, and while the excavation has slowed down, it is still in operation. It is owned by one of the largest contractors in this area.

This quarry is located close to Columbia Missouri. I couldn't get any closer because I was afraid of trespassing but I got a clear shot of the sign and a hint of what was going on inside or outside rather. Thanks!

This is located in Metchosin B.C.
Beautiful view of the Victoria Harbour too.

Mulgoa Gravel Quarry on the banks of the Nepean River, near Penrith, NSW, Australia.

This is a huge and still expanding gravel quary which is worked by huge dump trucks which you can just make out on the far side of the pit.

This is the local quarry in Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia.
No access to the big hole, but got it at the front gate anyway.
It is now owned by a large company in the UK who are into heavy building materials.

This is Osterns Quarry on State Highway 3 between Kiokio and Kihikihi in the North Island of New Zealand. The rock that is quarried here is used mainly for road construction

Zigzag quarry, just north of Torquay, Devon, UK. We found this one by chance on the way back home from a day's caching in the area - nice little bonus!
Thanks, The Hancock Clan.

I visited Mt Leura in Camperdown, Victoria, Australia to log the trig point (benchmark to our US friends) for another locationless cache: "#51 Great Southern Land: (5) That's the Trig." (GC5601). I noticed this working quarry from atop the mountain. I took the picture of the quarry from Mt Leura, then drove to the entrance to take a picture of the quarry sign with my GPSr in picture. I have also included a detail of the quarry picture that shows the machinery used to work it. The coordinates above are for the entrance sign.

The road to the quarry that I've selected was closed due to recent flooding having eroded the appoaches to a bridge. I could get to an area where they store and sort the stone, so have given this as my waypoint. Unfortunately it was starting to get dark when I took the pic.

Boral Quarries Stoneyfell Quarry is on the hills face of Adelaide, South Australia. The quarry dates back over 100 years and has supplied stone for much of the buildings in our grand town.
