They have to chain them up as they'll steal anything by us, that's probably where the other sixteen went

I suppose. But it sure would be a shame to lose a boat to someone who wanted to steal a fence.They have to chain them up as they'll steal anything by us, that's probably where the other sixteen went

SS Badger -1- entering the Père Marquette River by UnderOpenWater, on Flickr
SS Badger -2- turning by UnderOpenWater, on Flickr
SS Badger -3- eases into her mooring by UnderOpenWater, on Flickr
The SS Badger was launched in 1952 to transport railroad cars across Lake Michigan with service discontinued by The Chessie System in 1983. The Badger is now operated by Lake Michigan Carferry service to transport passengers and vehicles across Lake Michigan between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Badger is a coal-fired steamship with a displacement of 6650 tons.
On this day, we watched the Badger steam into her moorings on the Père Marquette River (a tributary of Lake Michigan). She made a wide turn and then backed into the dock. It was very neatly done. Having made the trip on her, I must say that it is without doubt a much nicer way than driving to get from one side of the lake to the other!

The Wikipedia entry makes for fascinating reading. Thanks.
A look upriver towards the Astoria Anchorage where ships idle awaiting their cargoes from upriver ports. Longview for lumber and Kalama for grain. A lot of grain from the interior winds up in Kalama and I see the light ships come in and the laden ones leave. Ship traffic is a good indicator of how the economy is doing.

Do you know what's going on there, Ed? It's an interesting photo.

John,
From what I remember, the boat is pushing the barge north along the river, as the train was heading south

We have much wildlife amongst us here. In town deer wander. I see them often on my street. They are Western deer, much smaller than the Eastern Mule deer, hardly bigger than a large dog. Blue Heron and Bald Eagles nest on the hill side across the street from my home. And while Bald Eagles are never bald they are not rare around here. I caught this fellow by accident while photographing this salt hay down at the coast. If you zoom in on that black dot over the salt hay you will see that the dot is a Bald Eagle, out looking for dinner. Look out, you may look better than a pork chop to him. ;o)
