Seasonal Barge

In the summer, it is more cost-effective to have supplies of all kinds shipped up by barge. By October, the waterways have begun to freeze and all other shipments must be flown in at tremendous expense. This is one of the last barges our region will see this year.

how interesting. I must add to the feeling of isolation when the barges finish their work

@cruiser It does, Chris. We are literally cut off except by planes. And even in the summer, we are so remote, even in the big "metropolis," that open waters don't help much with transportation. We are entirely off the road system!

Nice composition and interesting info.

So interesting! I guess you really have to anticipate your needs carefully.

@tristansmum @kimdavis Yes, Kim! I learned that the hard way - can't just stop by the craft store on my way home from work to get supplies for tomorrow's class art project.
