Larry Date: 02/26/20 10:26 Re: A Wednesday Wobbly ( WP ) . . . Author: Westbound Interesting pole line, but I cannot see any wires. Maybe gone by this date, but I doubt it.
Looks like one fairly new pole but what a job it must have been to get the pole into the hole that must have been hard to drill, considering the slope of the ground. Date: 02/26/20 10:53 Re: A Wednesday Wobbly ( WP ) . . . Author: PHall Westbound Wrote:

Gas powered pole augers. Utility crews have been using them since 1920 or so. Date: 02/26/20 13:33 Re: A Wednesday Wobbly ( WP ) . . . Author: atsf121 Awesome photo!
