Leaving Madison, Indiana

When it’s late on the west coast most of my east coast friends are in bed. Nights are very lonely when you’re away from home.

Last night I dreamed of being back in Madison again, but the town was empty. I walked all the trails and didn’t find anybody there, either.

I don’t know what my sun-burnt brain was trying to figure out while I was sleeping, but I’m glad all my Madison friends are still there.

I’m going to start you off with a video of the stack going down. I think this is just so cool.

Here are a few more photos of the American Queen as she made her way back down river on our last day there, as well as a few from Shannon Pearson, a great reader in Point Pleasant, West Virginia!

Shannon will receive a jar of jam for responding to a call for reader pics of the American Queen on my Facebook page.
