A team of road-surface experts gathered at the gate leading to Mr Joe Road on Friday, September 18.
Bryan Hollingworth, Margaret and David Hyde, and Willie Wanklyn were assisted by Tim Kirkpatrick, who dumped new surface material along Mr Joe and parts of Hugessen Roads. The following is a small photographic tribute to the efforts of our dedicated road crew.
The Crew: from left to right, WW, Margaret, Bryan and David.
Bryan operates a sophisticated fuel-level assessment device,
found by WW in the underbrush,
to establish the presence of a sufficiency of gas.
David bids Tim a fond farewell after the final load has been delivered.
Tim wishes the team luck.
The cavalcade sets off.
Now, doesn't that look better.
Earlier in the week, Margaret and Your Humble Correspondent did a job on the gate, which now looks all shiny and no longer covers you with rust whenever you go near it.
Reid Drury was nice enough to allow the road crew to use his tractor for the motorized portion of the grading assembly. Sally was nice enough to allow the road crew to use the grader portion of the same assembly. The grader is 100 years old. Bryan and I did the Anne Est road, as well as the Heward driveway! Over 6 hours! This saved the LAC a lot of money. And it does a great job! the work widens the road. It cuts back the encroachment of the weeds on the side. And it minimizes the water damage over the course of the year.
