This is the seventh utility pole up Kapaau Road from the main highway through Kapaau. I’m not sure how much these numbers are used these days but, back in the day, they would have helped crews to quickly locate any particular pole. I bet there were books of maps with each pole marked on it.

and love that they started at 1 – somehow these days everything has a prefix number

I like the numbering system. I’d have loved the map books too.

What a great find. Is that a wooden pole? I can’t imagine it lasting long.

It is wood and they seem to last fairly well. Goodness only knows what kind of toxic waste they use to treat them!
