White's Ferry

We live in a part of VA that has no bridge across the Potomac River. You have to go 40 miles north, or 40 miles south to get into Maryland.
However - this is White's Ferry.
When I first heard of White's Ferry, I envisioned a 300 car Ferry and when I came around the bend and saw this... my response was something like.... Oh hell no, I'm not getting on that!


It's the only Ferry left on the Potomac River, and the coast guard has tried to shut it down. It's basically a barge that they pull by cable across the water.


Oh yeah in that video it's summer and green, but look at it in the winter, and since the water is higher it takes longer in the winter.









It's not so bad, and it is very pretty in the summer.
