About McGuyer Excavating LLC

Out past the edge of Vincennes, where the streets give way to flat bottomland fields running along the Wabash toward Illinois, McGuyer Excavating LLC clears the farm lanes that the town routes never reach. Knox County's ground here is some of the flattest in the state, which means the wind has nothing to slow it down — snow that falls straight in town arrives sideways out past the grain bins. The crew knows which lanes drift shut first and runs those before the ones that hold their edges on their own. It's a different kind of clearing than the old brick streets closer to the river: longer stretches, fewer landmarks, just gravel and fence line disappearing into white. Come midmorning, the lanes lie open again, cutting straight dark lines through fields that won't show green for months.
