DARDANELLE LOCK AND DAM

...and more river boats, tugs and barges.


The Cheryl Stegbauer.




The name of this boat was White Wing. The nameplate was hard to read. I kept wanting to call it "White Fang".


This boats nameplate said Cheryl Stegbauer. Another interesting name.





Early morning fog on the river. That morning the fog was hanging just over the river and then rising up the hill above. The park area was clear.
