While we were waiting for a train to come by, we noticed this towboat doing
its thing on the river. So, we snapped a few shots. It appears that the barge
was pushed down the Mississippi River to the confluence with the St. Croix
River. Then they did a 180 and shoved up the St. Croix. The state is building
a big new bridge over the St. Croix up near Stillwater. This new bridge will
replace an ancient lift bridge that has been an aggravating bottleneck for
years.

That's a pretty basic looking tug. Looks almost home built.

Looks like a nice day to take pictures.

The clouds kinda came and went. It was a good day. The breeze blowing off
Lake Pepin was a little cool...
