Okay, okay, it’s a commercial ferry so it’s not exactly “haze gray” and the underway portion lasted about 10 minutes, with the crossing of the Mississippi from the Modoc, Illinois, landing over to Ste Genevieve, Missouri.

Anyway, if you’re inclined to join the St Louis Triumph Owners Association and reps from a number of other local car clubs this coming Sunday for the annual Vets Run, this is a view of one of the components of the route that you’ll get to enjoy. The second photo shows the end point: Chaumette Winery, down by Ste Genevieve.

We’re meeting at Sunset Overlook on Bluff Rd (west of Columbia and south of the “Red Roof” Shell station) at 10:30 AM, with a planned 11:00 AM departure. The drive should take about two or so hours and we’ll finish up with lunch at Chaumette. If you wish to join us, please do; you will need $15 in cash or check for the ferry crossing. Y’all come out!
