Taking the Anderson Ferry

[kybearfuzz]

Ohio River Sunrise from the Anderson Ferry
Yesterday, my office had an off-site training at one of the SW Cincinnati parks. Instead of fighting my way through bridge traffic and a 12-mile or so drive along the river, I decided to take the Anderson Ferry across and avoid the traffic altogether.

The last time I took a ferry ride, I was in Ireland. I'd forgotten how really relaxing a ferry ride can be. It was a beautiful morning and grabbed my camera quickly when I noted this view yesterday. My only regret is that the ride is over in about five minutes or so. I'm like a kid, I could have ridden it all morning.

Thats a really nice shot!!

See you thurs night maybe?

I'm off on Friday (as of today), so Thursday works well. I do have a pseudo-coffee date tomorrow night, but it should be over long before you get here.

...and no, not that sort of date....

[mikiedoggie.livejournal.com]

No worries Mark! Just text me the 411 on your coffee date and I'll be more than happy to sleep in the car. *sobs*

;-)

LOL! We're meeting at 5 PM, so I'm sure coffee will end before you get to town! And no, not because he's fast or anything... :D

Ha! That sounds good anyway, because I don't think I'll get into your place until late, I think I'll have to work a full day tomorrow. Boo.

What a beautiful way to start the day.

Does the ferry run on the weekends? Then you can ride it all day 'til your heart's content.

I thought it was fun. Unfortunately, it's $3.50/one way for the ferry ride, so all day would be expensive. It would be like those carnival rides at the small town fairs.

gorgeous pic... good eye for catching it.

I love ferry rides.

Thanks! I took several, this was one of the better ones. I'm sure the people who routinely ride the ferry thought I was nuts.

Ferry rides are becoming rare. And for me lately, so have "fairy" rides... :D

hahaha... I can't believe that joke got past *me* considering I can't shut myself up with that kinda stuff sometimes.

My all time favorite "ferry" ride is the one between Vancouver and Victoria Canada. It's absolutely gorgeous. I've always considered doing the tourist thing here and taking the ferry across the bay from SF to Sausalito but have never done it. One of these days...

Very pretty!

I thought so. The ride back was not so pretty. Timing is everything. How are you settling in back in Colorado? :)

How are you settling in back in Colorado? :)

Um ... ok, I guess. I'm not real happy here, at least not yet. It took a good 6 months before I adjusted to life out here last time though. I'm sure I'll come around eventually. I've barely been here two weeks and I've already got that "itch" to not be here. =)

beautiful ride it again

I did on the way home from the meeting. It's a bit out of the way for routine riding, but it's nice to know where it is for those days when everyone is having accidents and messing up the freeways.

Thanks... I like scenes like that, especially when I'm in the middle of the river like this photo.

I'll have to remember that orchard thing, you never know when you need apples. It's a beautiful area. I'll take the ferry over again sometime for the fun of it.

Well, I look at photos of hot furry bears, but they are a poor substitute for the real experience of being with one :D
