Part of the way up in the Chesapeake watershed, Roaring Bull works daily for the better part of the year. Take a ride on it. from Harrisburg I-81, it’s a mere 30 miles north. From West Milton I-80, 40 miles south.
Baltimore . . . 100 miles, Philly 130, NYC 200, and Pittsburgh 225; and
and it’s lost in time.
It’s a must-see, and inspected by the USCG.
Unlike double ended ferries, this one has the best bow and stern thrusters.
with a name that conjures up this taurus pining for love.
And yes, it’s in a part of the Susquehanna River valley where there are lots of horses pulling buggies.

Thx Nelson. The ferry’s about 400 miles from you, but if you’re ever headed west, it’d be a worthwhile stop.
