Current Plow Crew Work Locations: The crew made it to the end of the road yesterday. The reason that we did not finish up two days prior was due to a piece of rebar that was embedded into the ditch close to the Wonder Lake causeway. This piece of rebar just happened to sticking out in just the right place at just the wrong time as our loader was passing by. The rebar tore a gash in the sidewall of the left rear tire and flattened the tire almost instantly. Since the rebar was covered in snow, it was unavoidable. The loader blocked the road off at the causeway and stalled the rest of the equipment from passing. Long story short, we got the loader moved after a lot of work, and we finished SRO yesterday at 1pm.
