October in Highgate Falls smells like cold water and cut corn — the river dropping loud through its narrow gorge, barn lights on well before supper. Cameron's Landscape & Snow Maintenance, LLC treats that turn as a handoff: last mowings and the fall cleanup on one side of it, plow trucks readied on the other. Winter on this end of Franklin County is long and honest, and the work is plain — driveways opened, walks cleared, banks kept low enough to see around. Come May the mowing and trimming start again on ground that thaws late and greens fast. A year here is two jobs wearing the same boots.
