I went out with the works crew. I wanted to see how the park worked on a daily level. They were working on the Trout River road and were putting in poles with reflectors on them so that they can be seen above the snow. In a blizzard these are sometimes all you see and people drive from one pole to the next. A hole is first drilled into the ground and the pole is hammered into place.
I had no idea what this was for: it is a pole to show where the storm drains are so that when there is rain and it starts to melt the snow, a hole can be dug to clear out the storm drain to allow run off. I feel rather humbled that even the snow is large scale here.
I enjoy watching work crews too... as we have traveled especially. They are often the unseen heroes of making the world a better place and a type of ballet all their own. Hope you have good boots!
