Here was the first in the series five years ago. Allen Baker took this photo of Thunder Bay last Friday near Newburgh. Four thousand horsepower can get you nowhere sometimes in conditions like these. It’s hard for me to believe I may never have posted a photo of WTGB 108 on this blog.
Foreground . . . Thunder Bay. Middle . . . Bannerman Island. Distance . . . northern section of Hudson Highlands Park.
Amy C McAllister grunts the Bouchard barge upriver. For some views of an August day frolic in relatively the same location, click here. Also for a post comparing summer and winter in this location, click here.
And looking back at the track through ice left by the tug/barge as they headed for West Point . . . it’s straight and sharp.
Many thanks to Allen for these photos. Be safe.

Melody watched the Thunder Bay from her window in the Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, NY, where she was on retreat. She wrote a poem about it. I shall have to ask her for it and share it with you.
