Mile High.



Our highway mile markers used to be about a foot above the ground. This didn't make much sense when one considered the amount of snowfall we get each winter. The markers were unseen for about six months out of the year. This summer the state came through and changed all of the markers so they are about six feet off the ground. This seems like a needed change, but why so high? Do they know something about this winter's snowfall that we don't? I'll start to worry if I see them planting those roadside poles like they have near Whittier.
