U.S.S. Inaugural

Nicotti and Mandi are badasses for floating out to it. They definitely have the distinction of being the first.

But now the water's so low, we just walked right out to it today.

We drove it over to the Chain of Rocks intake towers and partied out on the towers for a while. Then we parked it back where it was.

Did Jeeves let down the ladder and open the door for you on the tower?

He did, and we had a table with bread and cheese cubes waiting for us inside. Super service.

For all interested, Sub's got a good writeup on the boat plus excellent pics in his latest blog entry.

Good times.

Actually White Rabbit made it out there first, right?

oh dang, you're right. I forgot about that.

Here's some shots of Steamboat Montana. Not really much to see, but still cool because of the history, and REALLY easy to get to right now. We walked right down the bank.







I found these near the stumps in the pic above


This pic is horrible. I tried to fix it, but I think I made it worse. It shows how much is exposed though..






Looks like some sort of ladder

Thanks! Good shots!
One Winter many (OK - many) years ago I was supposed to with my BSA Troop to visit it (ca. '52-4), but came down with flu. Drat.
And of course none of my buds took a camera.

Did you guys open this hatch? Cause I couldn't get it to budge when we were there.

[SubLunar]

It was open when I got up there.

[Nicotti]

Just moving this post from Critter over here.

Apparently, the steamboat Montana is also visible.

Just padding my post count so I can be first again, bitches

Well I do have to make up for about a month's worth of lost time... bitches.

You didn't think I was really just going to roll over and let Sub take the lead without a fight did ya now?

[SubLunar]

mandi, have you seen any evidence of this nearby shipwreck?

Just a couple of hundred yards upriver, another vessel rests so close to shore you can walk around on it. That unknown steamboat’s boiler currently sits above the water.

[Mandi Milenko]

Nope but I sure do need to go look! I read that there were several shipwrecks in that area.

man that would be a tight squeeze in the middle of a rolling sea
