Go West 16

Chicago in the haze ahead means this is the last of this series; we’ve gotten as far west as this gallivant will go.  The link in the previous sentence shows a map of the trajectory, with all of its legs.

That’s Navy Pier.

Squinting, I see this as a man doing a tire repair on a flipped over bicycle, but of course my eyes have their issues.

A surprise was the use of tug-barge excursion trips with the likes of

City View.

Not all tug-barge traffic transported passengers, however.

I’ll have to find out more about Kiowa after journey’s end.

Riverview is part of the people-scow fleet and it just squeezes under the bridges.

 

USACE Racine has a scow beside the Chicago Harbor Lock.
