floating highway

Upper Arrow Lake

glacier-scoured lakes abound in the West Kootenay region, and can be impediments to travel...luckily a ferry transports vehicles across some bodies of water, as here on Upper Arrow Lake...this is regarded as an extension of the road system, there is no charge for the crossing, so the boat from Galena Bay is like a floating highway....stuck at the back, the old yet intrepid Nikonmobile is dwarfed by local traffic...the tuned in man in the safety vest drove the logging truck

Intimidating for me always going on a ferry, even when its free!

I can remember driving my pickup onto these ferries while traveling around the San Juan Islands. Nicely captured. V

I've not been up to that part of the country so am fascinated to hear about the free ferry. It looks like an adventurous time. V

Intriguing information you shared, particularly the free use of ferry. You captured a stirring perspective and a lot of different kind of vehicles. V

Nice capture of this floating highway.

Interesting that it's considered an extension of the highway and so free. Looks like a fun adventure to me!
