About Showen Excavating

Winter in the Driftless Area loves a hollow. Snow piles deep in the coulees and curls around the steep, winding roads that drop into Gays Mills, while the Kickapoo slips dark and quiet between its frozen banks. Showen Excavating, an excavating business by trade, puts its machinery to work on snow removal when the valley fills, clearing driveways and approaches on ground that is rarely flat or forgiving. A drive that climbs a ridge or bends down toward the river takes a sure hand to plow well, and a finished one is a small victory over gravity and winter both. When the work is done the hills are still white, but the way out is open.
