Busting snowdrifts along Md./Pa. border

[muleman]

My buddy sent some pics from the recent storms. This is about 8 miles from where Rusty lives. The roads kept blowing shut every couple of hours. By the second day they were back to doing what I did with the same machine in 93 and again in 96. That old V plow don't see much use but it sure is handy when needed. Some drifts were over 10ft. high.

I think that is Sechrist flats rd. or the road to Lucky.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

oooooooo ok. yeah i can definatley see that road drifiting shut real fast

I spent 30 hours on the road to Lucky in 96. When I needed fuel I had to turn around and ram it back open to get the kid with the fueltank to me. He needed chains and still could not get more than half mile off of 74. Later that night I got fuel from a farmer for opening his lane for the milk truck to get there the next day or he would have had to dump his milk. It goes from almost bare to huge drifts in a 1/4 mile in places down that way.

I was born down in Rehmyers hollow. The place where the Hex murders took place was right behind our farm. We would be snowed in for a week or more as kids. Not a big deal except for getting milk out to the mount olivet rd. Dad had an old car hood under the front wheels of a B John Deere with chains on. We strapped the cans of milk on a 3pt. platform on the back and hauled them out to a farm by the hard road.
