AquaQuest

About AquaQuest

Dunbar Cave breathes the same cool air all year while the ground above it swings from July steam to January glaze. AquaQuest works the January end of that swing in Clarksville, plowing snow, shoveling walks down to the slab, and spreading salt on the shaded north slopes where ice sets up hardest and quits last. A storm through here can lay three inches overnight and be gone by supper, which means the clearing happens in the narrow dark hours or it doesn't happen at all. There's a plain pleasure in stepping back at first light to a driveway laid open curb to garage door, salt already doing its quiet arithmetic. Hilldale to St. Bethlehem, that's the morning, and then the coffee.
