Should I Be A Deckhand on the Lansing Ferry?

Yesterday Kristy and I explored along the Mississippi River again, including a trip across the river and back on the Cassville Ferry that has moved to Lansing. The trip to Wisconsin does not take long and ours was uneventful.

As I rode on the ferry I thought how interesting (and fun) it might be to work a shift or a day on the ferry. I may give the operators a call to see what might be possible. What do you think… should I?

By the way, today I photographed fog and more fog. Rather than deviate from my Lansing work, I will stick to photos from yesterday that have not yet been shared.
