CAUTION -Snowmobiling the road sides / ontonagon

[IMHO49953]

Around Ontonagon County, fiberoptic tubes are being installed (bright orange). I do not know what the intention is for these "in progress" installs.
Note that as of 11/02/2022, there are many tube ends sticking out of the ground in many places near road shoulders. If they are not buried by start of the season, they may pose a hazard if you are running the road sides and get "speared" by one of these ends "hidden" in the snow. Maybe it is not a problem... but better be safe than sorry.
I have contacted the Onto phone office and asked them to consider this possibility regarding those fiber tubes...
Best to stay on the trails or on the roadways to avoid any possible problem. ???

Likely the federal/state internet project for rural communities.

The tubes in our area already have large plastic junction boxes installed on them. It also is located on my property and not on the R.O.W. so iffen you hit it make sure to ask for permission first.
