Along the road toward Great Bend and Carthage the land climbs and the grades get serious, and a drive up there has to be plowed the whole way or not at all. Marzano Excavating brings loaders and blades to that kind of ground — long inclines opened, turnarounds cut wide, banks stacked back where they will not slide in overnight. On commercial lots the piles get relocated or hauled off before they begin swallowing parking spaces. Four in the morning, machine lights on falling snow, is the ordinary setting for all of it. By the time the sun clears the hill the pavement is back where it belongs.
