It Takes Four Days to Hitchhike from this One

And what's better than one classic lake freighter?  Two of them.  Roughly an hour behind the Philip Clarke was the Saginaw.  I was kind of waffling on whether I wanted to stick around to catch her.

 She's appeared on this blog a few times in the past.

 But it always seems like I catch her at about this time of the day.

 Not that I'm complaining mind you.

 The white part of the ship really catches the golden light.

 The gray does a pretty decent job of it too.

 Of course, I have to wait for her to get a little further down the river.

 Because she starts to look a little golden.

 And not quite so rusty.

 A shot of her pilothouse.

 Deckhouse.....

 And a shot of her hull catching the full effect of the setting sun.

 And set off by the pinks in the sky.

And one more shot as she continues on.
