    Here in Ashtabula county too. First Energy has been a bit more proactive in clearing trees since the Aug 2003 blackout.

    My company car is a minivan, it seems boring compared to the helicopter.

    They used one here a few years ago. It hacked the trees up.

    That is the suck thing with ROW , a landowner has zero say in the maintenance that's outlined in the ROW agreement . At least around here they usually don't even have them cleared back to the max distance.

    They don't do a good job here either. We had an ice storm come through this week. I was without electric 2 days.
