Snow stakes

In the high country, the roads are marked with snow stakes. These stakes can range in length from 10-30 feet and are there to show the snow plows where the edge of the road is so the plow doesn't go off the road. Eventually, the roads are closed for the winter (Trail Ridge about 1/2 way down the page you will see a pic of a snow plow and a snow stake).

The first picture is of my front yard. Remember this post where I showed the new block wall? This picture and the last picture are the same scene and you can actually see this scene in that earlier post.

This is a neighbor digging out the street in front of our house. We are in the county and never in 30 years living here have the snow plows come down our street. We are on our own.

And here is my snow stake. Mr. Neighbor was kind enough to plow our curved drive, but I wanted to make sure that he knew where the block wall started. So I was out in 3 foot snow with my stake. I looked like I was searching for an avalanche victim. The purple ribbon is almost straight out in the wind.

It is snowing again and it's comin' on Christmas.
