Can anyone point me to a good article on dry stacking river stone walls? I built a very small (25' long, 1.5' tall) wall last year with good success. This year my task is a little bigger. 40-45' long , 3 foot tall. This will be built into a pretty steep hill and I will backfill behind it. I have ordered 8 tons of rock and would appreciate any tips you could give me.

I am more comfortable with dry stacking but any advice would be helpful.
