Dump trucks have been around for several centuries. They range from simple dump carts to the first steam powered \\u201ctipper\\u201d to haul garbage, to the MEGA trucks used in open pit mines.

\\n

There are many shapes and sizes of dump trucks. But all of them have specialized uses.

\\n

This is a story of one of the many dump trucks/trailers and it usefulness in hauling material to construction sites.

\\n

It\\u2019s the \\u201cbelly dump\\u201d or \\u201cbottom dump\\u201d truck and or trailers.

\\n

I said story because I could not find any info about Carl Walker Hauling out of Anchorage Alaska during the 60s. If someone out there knows anything about Carl Walker please let me know in the comments below. I would really appreciate any information that you could provide. Also please go on and join my YouTube family by subscribing!

To continue our story, the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake did considerable damage to Anchorage and surrounding countryside. In fact, the surface damage covered 185,000 square miles.

\\n

The same day the Good Friday quake hit Alaska my father charted a sailboat with a group of friends and sailed to Anacapa Island. The island is located in the Santa Barbara channel. They landed on the island and the sailboat departed. My father\\u2019s group spent the day and night on the island. Several members of the group noticed unusual tidal surges all Friday afternoon and commented that conditions were almost like tsunami conditions.

\\n

According to my father the group had a wonderful and restful, time exploring the island, a barbecue on the beach that night, and settled down for a peaceful night sleep.

\\n

During the night the tsunami hit the island around 4:30 am.
