This rather odd scene played out several times while we enjoyed our traditional off-season vacation on The Bay. We prefer the quiet of late April to about the middle of June and begining of September to late October. The number of lights that can be counted can drop to no fingers on one hand.
This vehicle arrangement would go from its safe night-time habour to its exposed work site, and then back again at the end of the day or if a storm was approaching (note the colour of the sky). This went on for several days, and probably continued for many more days. A closer examination of the image shows how heavy the barge is running in the water. Not visible except for its outboard motor is the auxillary boat. A means of getting to and from work is required no matter where you are.
The particular work site is known for its year round construction projects, making the local economy very happy. This project is no exception, I’m told that an ice road was observed this past February headed in the general direction of their property.
The father was always big on buildings, new buildings, more buildings. Now the son controls the property. The son’s halmark has been stone patios and stone walk ways. Its very likely that the observed truck contains skids of some exotic stone to replace the aging wooden walkways, or other flat surface.
