Wabasha, Minnesota

Chief Wapa hasha, or Wabasha -- his fate is similar to Chief Sealth (they mangled his name into Seattle and built the city on what was once his land).

Bridge at Wabasha, Minnesota, across the Mississippi River to Wisconsin.  

We are stopping for the night, waiting for the fuel dock to open.  Many places are closed on the weekends.  This marina -- Parkside Marina -- will cease operations on October 14th, in anticipation of winter.  

No travel lift here, but a submersible trailer lifts boats out of the water.

Submersible trailer is driven backward down the ramp into the water to pick up the boat and onto the hard for storage.

Sights on our Way from Red Wing

Dan at the helm as we left Red Wing.

Red Wing Amtrak train station and Red Wing Levee Sea Wall. 
Our condo is three blocks up the street.

Last look at the Red Wing grain elevators and empty barge waiting to be loaded and hauled down river, then on to Korea or China.
