Out past the edge of Mason the roads run straight and the fields run flat, and when the wind gets up there is nothing at all to stop it. Snow packs into the fence lines along Dexter Trail and reaches across the gravel lanes until a farm drive simply disappears. Family Grade & Gravel LLC plows those long approaches, opening a clean track from the road to the barn and back out again. Gravel takes a light touch, enough blade to move the snow and not enough to move the drive. On the coldest mornings, the sound of a truck coming up the lane is a welcome one.
