WINTER TIME


Well winter has arrived and with avengence. The pot holes are all filling in nicely and we should have a good "smooth" road very soon. Now if we could only get the cattle guards fixed (?). Come on guys, it's not rocket science.

With the big dump of snow we had recently, I noticed it took longer then usual to get most of the roads cleared. Wanting to know why, I got an answer. Apparently there is only 3 trucks in the Horsefly area. I also found out that the Horsefly section of IRS is now responsible for the entire Horsefly road, Horsefly to 150 MH. Also found out that they did not have a wing blade. I understand that they now have one.

I was travelling to WL the other day and followed the plow truck for a ways. I noticed that the blade was on the ground but only the center of the lane was being cleared. "RUTS in our road. This is a very dangerous condition especially when we get a melt. Who did this happen? Overloaded logging trucks? There could, of course, be a number of things coming into play causing this. Something else to look into I guess!

All in all, the roads are not in bad shape given the season. Well done boys & girls (and who said I was a grinch)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
