Wednesday Night Ride



Miles: 25.20
March Miles: 662.84
Year to Date: 1485.22

This was the last Wednesday "Night" Ride. Why? Well, because the sun is setting so late now we do not need to ride in darkness anymore. We brought our lights, but turned then on only so others could see us, not for us to see.

Bob and Jim join Joanne and I and we rode out to the Wheatland Ferry which, according to the Marion County Website:
The Wheatland Ferry will be closed beginning Tuesday, March 13th. The U.S. Coast Guard annually inspects the Wheatland Ferry and this is accomplished during normal operations. Every five years, the U.S. Coast Guard requires that the Ferry be hauled out of the river and the hull visually inspected. Ferry Operations is going to pull the vessel out of the river for inspection and painting. It is anticipated that this process will take several additional days depending upon weather conditions.

The ferry was completley out of the river and looked somewhat like a beached whale.
