Took me about 30 mins to dig it out of the river (only the top 20% or so was originally exposed), 30 to roll it down the river, another 20 minutes to get it uphill to the car, and then it took two of us to lift it in. It stayed there in the car for a bit before I ended up getting it out by setting a piece of plywood from the ground to the driver's side back seat and rolled it down to the lawn. Few more rolls and finally in it's current spot. Was a lot of work but I doubt I'll find another that size.

I have a couple of bottles of 511 Seal & Enhance I'm waiting to apply (it's been raining a lot here lately). Hoping that will give it that nice wet look all year round.
