A Winter’s View From the River

Even though the conditions on the river are cold, the view from aboard the Captain Gerald Boggs looks like a view from a postcard. Photo by Austin Hill.

Austin Hill, a local of Meigs County along with others aboard AEP’s Captain Gerald Boggs brave the winter weather as they break ice above the Racine Locks and Dam. As the rest of us deal with slick road conditions it is easy to forget about those working on barges and while ice on the river can be pretty, it can also be a problem for those at the locks or on the barges; but that didn’t stop Austin Hill from taking a few pictures along the way.
