We
did a short stop in Baton Rouge in Louisiana. My morning walk was along the
levee. I’m always wondering what life is like on the river. The barges seem to
park along the Mississippi at night. Some of the bigger ones park in the middle
of the river.
I’ve
read what life is like back in Mark Twain’s time but what is it like with GPS,
satellites, sonar, and modern technology. Is all this used or are many ships
and boats still using older technology? The loading along the river is still
basic cranes, conveyors, and manual operators, so…who knows?
