It’s late spring, and while the Trilliums and Morels are popping up in the forests, traffic cones are popping up along our roads. The arrival of the orange cones signals the narrowing of roads, lane closures, and bridge reconstruction. Alternate routes are forced upon us. Orange signs with arrows point the way of detours, although I never signed up for any tours.
The season of orange cones means it will take longer to get to our favorite streams and lakes, cutting down on precious fishing and camping time. Even worse, it can mean that good roads with sand and gravel are being converted to paved roads. Paved roads are highly toxic to animals as evidenced by carnage never seen on a "good" road .
However, I do appreciate the unseen protesters who erect their signs at every road construction site as a call to "END ROAD WORK".
