Route 302 runs the length of Bartlett between the Saco and the mountain walls, and in winter it becomes a corridor of blown snow and blue shadow. E G Chandler Property Management keeps the driveways and walks along it open — plowing through the night, sanding the steep pitches, digging out doorways and the hard ridge where the roof drips. When the melt finally arrives, the sand is swept up, the lawns raked, and the mowing schedule takes over for the summer. Trimming, edging and clearing fill the warm months until the first hard frost puts the plows back on the trucks. Up here the year is a loop, and both ends of it are the same trade: keeping a property usable.
