PAJARO – Dump trucks stuffed with potato-sized rocks and half-ton boulders lined up along a strawberry field here Monday, all racing against time – and another oncoming storm – to help fill a destructive break in the Pajaro River.
Truck drivers made 120-mile round trips to quarries in Cupertino and Greenfield that normally shut down at 3:30 p.m. but promised to stay open into the night.
