Pictured Rocks

I have too many sensor spots--one of the reasons it takes me so long to post anything is cleaning up all those wretched sensor spots--almost makes me want to give up photography entirely.

This picture I took on our Vacation at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The falls is called "Bridal Veil Falls" and often doesn't flow during the summer, but we'd had a lot of rain recently when this was taken.

SS City of Milwaukee

We toured the S.S. City of Milkwaukeee which is a national Historical Monument/Park located in Manistee, Michigan, USA. The first City of Milkwaukee went down in a storm. This was railroad car ferry and these only a few of the pictures we too--probably about 200 pix! It was VERY interesting. The man in two of the pictures who is not Biker Buddy was out tour guide. He gave us SO much information!!!! I could never remember it all, I should have taped it! One thing he told us was that the lifeboats never saved any lives because they took too long to deploy. The railroad car ferries saved the railroad a lot of time and were very important until new tracks and hubs were laid through Chicago and then they became obsolete. The SS Milwaukee was one of the best and fastest and had engine improvements that allowed it to be more cost effective and therefor ran longer than many of the others. 7/10/08

Been away for a couple days. And--advance warning--am leaving Saturday or Sunday for Upstate NY for a week.
