I see barges on the Ohio all the time. I marvel at them manuvering the bends in the river and passing each other while pushing 15 barges full of coal or whatever. I saw one barge pushing 21 barges (3 wide by 7 long) one time. That is the most I've seen here.

Sure makes me appreciate this pic. 72 barges being pushed at Baton Rouge LA. :wow:

The towboat Miss Kae-D using all of her 10,500 horsepower set an inland waterway record May 2, 1981, when she departed Baton Rouge, La., pushing 72 jumbo barges bound for Hickman, Ky. The record tow was 9 barges wide,8 barges long and covered 12.72 acres. Total loading capacity 113,400 net tons.

One of my longtime childhood friends, Becky - lives in Florida and works for a medical supply company.
Today one of rehab facilities they supply for showed their appreciation by bringing them boxed lunches compliments of the local Chik-Fil-A, with a little patriotic feel thrown in.
Awesome!
That's her second from the left in the group.

My aunt took the first one in her yard today. The second two are frequent guests in our yard. They do a good job at cleaning up the apples laying on the ground rotting. Speaking of apples, I've been really enjoying the apple trees. One tree is almost ready to pick. I picked these yesterday. Yummy.

With the latest Colorado low that came through a few days ago, we received torrential rain followed by a full day of strong winds. This was taken 2hrs south of us in two harbors Minnesota. We had the same kind of waves coming in to our harbour in thunder bay. This is the north shore of lake superior.
