M/V Zephyr heading down the river

Today was the first time in almost a week that I could leave the house and get a look at the area following the snow-ice-snow sequence we had this past weekend. I could have left by driveway, but the state took its time plowing my road, so I decided to stay home. I've driven in enough snowstorms in my life, and I no longer consider that to be a challenge, a necessity or an adventure.

On my run of errands, I made a quick stop at Harris Riverfront Park at Huntington WV. I saw a coal tow coming down the river. It was the Zephyr. Not the 6,600-horsepower triple screw boat of Kirby. This was the older, smaller one. But she still gave a decent view as she went under the bridge.


Later.
