Glad you had a chance to cross on the ferry, a nice little piece of history. I lived in Poolesville for several years and would take the ferry to Virginia for business, mostly for Dulles Airport. One trip I had a chance to reflect on the most modern and most ancient forms of transportation. I had just returned from Hong Kong, flew half-way around the world, and the last part of the trip was a couple hundred yards on a riverboat ferry. As I watched the cable come out of the water and go thru the pulleys it seemed kind of wild. To this day I still think it is amazing.
On another trip, it was one of the last trips of the evening, me and another car. Calm water and almost full moon, we asked the operator to take it slow.
I am glad it is still running, it is quite a piece of history.
