I most of the photos I saw, it was pretty full. But maybe being full is rare and that is why the photo was taken.

They pile gravel on a boat ramp, and then place a metal platform across the gravel for the ramp to rest on.

I've seen groups of motorcycles and old cars in some photos. I guess even tractors go cruising the scenic byways.

Sometimes it is far from full.

This gives new meaning to the phrase "travelling band."

Another sign had the words "CASH ONLY."

While they are closed during the winter, they must be helping with ferry service at Lansing, IA. Those are the new and old Black Hawk Bridges. The original plan was to close the old bridge after then new one was built. But they discovered that constructing the piles for the new bridge was disturbing the foundation of the old bridge. So they closed and removed the old bridge a year or so before the new one would open. Thus the need for a ferry service at Lansing, IA. I wonder what ferry they are going to use when the Cassville should open in May 2026.
