Travelerwhy were they washing sand?! Lovely trees behind.
TravelerFood source may be? Remember the scene from “Raising Arizona” - “When there were no Crawdad to be found, we ate sand”. “You ate sand?”. Actually I think it is cleaned so it can be used to mix with concrete etc
TravelerYes. That's right. It's washed to remove the silt and clay so they can use it in concrete batching. Use as a food source would be well down the list I imagine
