Blogging isn't easy when your internet service provider goes out on Tuesday and waits until Saturday to restore service. But here we are again.
Today I headed downriver and saw a couple of boats and more. It will take some time to work through everything I got, but we have to start sometime.
First, the M/V Gene Neal at Catlettsburg, Ky.
I like seeing this boat because it is nearly identical, if not totally identical, to one of my all-time favorites on the Ohio – the former M/V Tri-State of Ashland Oil. In May 1980, I rode the Tri-State from Neale Island to South Point, Ohio, and then over to Kenova, W.Va. More on the Tri-State and the Gene Neal soon.
I caught up with the Gene Neal a few miles downriver at Ashland, Ky., but not before getting a few photos of the M/V Alan P Hall of Amherst Madison.
You have to like the old 1960s-era Dravo boats. And the older ones, too. And the newer ones. At least I do.
Again, more later.
