John Huffman of Huffman Excavation and Josh Callahan of Vision Cabling pause briefly from their work covering the Cox cable lines in Gravette. The pair have been busy filling in ditches where Cox cable main lines are being buried throughout the city. Huffman operates a machine called a Harley rake, which pushes rocks and other debris aside ahead of the skid steer which follows right behind and covers the lines with dirt. They were working last Friday in the west edge of town near Pop Allum Park.
