Zipping and barging today. Henry’s supposedly looking for where our Radio Flyer sled sunk during the late winter thaw… May 27th, 2021 | Category: Barge Bridge, Zip Line! | Comments are closed Like the Lake Express Ferry, the Barge Bridge, aka The MS Minnow (Muscle Ship), is re-installed at its home port for another season of crossings.
