[pct-l] Road closureon Highway 2 atinspirational point/Wrightwood

[RJ Lewis]

Unfortunately that is all to common these days....aggressive behavior to 
highway road workers. My husband and I are both highway construction 
workers. People are just plain rude these days, and incidents vary from 
garbage being thrown at us, to attempts on our lives with vehicles. Of 
course, there is the flip side too, and occasionally, you get what is 
known as "trail magick" (to hikers), and someone will offer up a cold 
soda, a piece of fresh fruit or a candy bar. Too bad the latter is so 
seldom and the former is far too often. I don't blame them a bit for 
closing the road down while they repair it. Just remember, when you 
tangle with a highway worker, the driver is the one who usually ends up 
losing. =( And, we have families who depend on us too. Try some trail 
magick sometime with them- you will make their day.
