Here,
on a trip a few years back,
while making a loop around the state of Montana,
my husband and I took a more than 100 mile drive between
the towns of Havre and Winifred.

Along this long route,
we crossed the Missouri River near the Missouri River Breaks
on this ferry at Stafford Crossing.
It is only one of three ferries still in use to cross the river,
we also crossed the one in Virgelle.
Very nostalgic.

Nice shot, Madge. I like the colors. Somewhat muted, but yet bold.
Neat ferry and a great shot. I follow you via email and your posts have not been coming through.
Beautiful image!
It’s neat to see or hear about the continuation of older traditions. I’m sure the opportunities to see a Missouri River Ferry are few and far between.
Oh, LOVE this shot Madge!!!
Marvelous picture! I like ferries!
Such a beautiful area.
wow, Madge! That is a gorgeous shot. I’ve only been on a ferry once, at the Outer Banks of NC.
Love this ferry shot. It looks like beautiful country for sightseeing.
What a great shot…love the slice of life this represents♪
I like this very much. The blue ferry is quite vibrant and the surrounding country side is gorgeous.
Very Beautiful
Excellent shot, I like it very much :)
