DescriptionTaken from Tempe Daily News - October 27, 1978:Gene's Granite and Rock company, Gilbert, didn't have quite this in mind when they took on the job of landscaping a homesite in the 200 block of Campo Desierto, near McKellips and College. When they said move the dirt -- they didn't mean truck and all! But it had to be, when damp dirt in the dump truck stuck to one side of the truck bed and caused it to capsize -- and a "scoop" had to be used to get it on its wheels again.
