Pretty much isn’t it? I was there, my Dad surveyed in the route for the new Consumer’s Power lines across the Straights in the summer of ‘56 or ‘57, can’t remember exactly.
My great granddad did surveying in the UP back in the 1920s and when he was done he went back to where he started and learned to hang electric lines. When that was done he came down here and did the same around the hometown with a crew of local teenagers and young guys.
He would survey and mark a roadway and the young guys with chain saws would follow cutting trees while leaving the occasional tree standing as a power pole. When they were done cutting they would go back and help hang lines.
