πŸ“Great Loop Ep. 33 | The Big Chute!
Who knew that one day we’d be putting our 48-foot boat on a giant railway and sending it over land?! 🀯🚀
When we started this adventure with little boating experience, we had no idea just how many wild experiences were waiting for us along the way. And somehow, every time we think we’ve seen it all, the Great Loop finds another way to surprise us!
This one definitely goes down as one of those “are we really doing this?!” moments. πŸ˜‚
Would you trust your boat on the Big Chute Marine Railway?!
πŸŽ₯ The full episode is LIVE on YouTube!

Bobtail Bridge


I can't tell for sure because this photo is just part of the bridge, but it looks like it may be a bobtail (asymmetric) bridge rather than a swing bridge.
