Catherine Desgagnes, Donner, Viking

On our way back from the DeYoung  Family Zoo (a really great place to visit!) in Wallace, we stopped in Marinette/ Menominee so I could take  few pictures.  A ship fix!  The Catherine Desgagnes was still tied to the Wm. Donner, although no unloading was taking place.  The Viking is still at her spot in Menominee at K & K.  Wonder if they'll ever decide to do something with her.  

The DeYoung Zoo has lots of big cats and other animals, and many babies, too.  

BBC Elbe and windmill sections

We went to Appleton, Wisconsin for a weekend of minor league baseball and ended up getting about three innings of baseball followed by the most spectacular light show put on by God!  Better than the fireworks they had planned for after the game, I'm sure.  We were safe under the roof, and saw lightning cross the sky from cloud to cloud.    Wow!

On the way home Sunday we caught the BBC Elbe unloading windmill sections at Menominee, Michigan.  You can see part of the old ferry Viking there.  The William Donner is still rusting away on the Marinette, Wisconsin, side being used as a crane barge.  Sad sight, indeed.
