Our Striping season is over for the year. I normally work striping from April to November and then plow snow in Wenatchee the remaining months. Since 2005 I used to make a video of the crew each year- this song is Real Men of Genius and Draggin The Line from 2012- I think the last striping video I made. I hope you can tell we have fun and enjoy our work. We see some pretty county and we see the best and worst drivers. It is a great crew to work with. Several in this video have moved up to Lead Tech's back in Maintenance. For the past 20 winters I have worked plowing snow in the winters in Wenatchee. This winter will be my first winter working Leavenworth Shed- I start Dec. 3rd at 5am; Wed. thru Saturday.
