About Johnson Outdoors of Interlochen

Interlochen in January is pine and blue shadow, the roads narrowing between banks that keep growing until March. Johnson Outdoors of Interlochen works only that half of the calendar — plowing drives and lots across Green Lake Township, cutting walkways clear and laying salt where the melt refreezes overnight. Storms here run long and quiet, dropping inches for a day and a half at a stretch, so a route may be run more than once. The measure of a night is simple: whether people can leave in the morning without thinking about it. Before first light the plow is out, and by sunrise the pavement is dark again.
