East of Alpena the land runs out to Lake Huron in limestone ledge and cedar, and the wind crossing North Point in December has come a long way to get there. FAIR & SQUARE TREE SERVICE LLC works the shoreline places — removing the cedar and birch the lake has finally worked loose, trimming to keep a roofline and a view clear, pruning that leaves a hardwood able to stand the next gale. Storm damage cleanup on this coast is winter work as often as summer: ice, then wind, then a driveway that has to be open by morning. Sunrise over the water finds the ground raked and the brush already loaded. Alpena, Ossineke, Hillman, Lachine, Presque Isle and Rogers City.
