What Do You Do After Work?

I was feeling spontaneous after work on Tuesday, so instead of heading straight home to Cuba City to watch the end of the SVU marathon that was on, I decided to take a detour. I had heard a few things about Cassville's ferry, and since all of them were positive, I figured a perfect way to complete my day would be for me to take a quick ride.

The price was incredibly reasonable ($4 for a round trip walk-on), and the people running the show were very helpful and willing to answer any questions I had, like where could I walk on the ferry, and would they take my picture for me?

The result...
O.K. Let me explain the garb. I had just gotten off work at Stonefield, and I realized I was too lazy to change out of my entire outfit, so I just left on the skirt. But don't worry, because I explained to the "captains" why I was dressed this way. They were fine with my appearance. But, enough of that talk, check out the awesome view of the river behind me. It was a bit humid and hot that day, but the second I got out on the river, I had never been so comfortable in that skirt before!

I also took this signs advice...


Want to see some more scenery, readers?


After I had taken about a hundred photos, I chatted a bit with the person who greeted me at the beginning. He gave me a rough history of ferry boats and talked about how busy he gets on the weekends. It was then discovered that we attend the same university, so we spent the rest of the journey suggesting classes for the other to take. We both agreed that history courses were the best (I'm not the only history nerd out there!).

About twenty minutes had passed and the ferry boat was pulling into shore.



My ride had come to an end. And even though I missed the marathon on TV I had planned on watching, my trek down the Old Miss was completely worth it.
