About Darrow Bros Excavating

At the very tip of the Lower Peninsula, Mackinaw City spends its winters beside the Mackinac Bridge, whose lights string out five miles across the icy Straits. Once the summer crowds have gone and the fudge shops are shuttered, the wind owns the town, pushing snow off the ice and around Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and the stockade of Fort Michilimackinac. Darrow Bros Excavating, an excavating business, clears snow here, moving drifts out of drives and lots the way earth gets moved: thoroughly, with the sides left square. Morning in a Straits winter can be fierce and lovely at once. A cleared drive with the bridge towers glinting beyond it is a fine way to begin the day.
