Riverside Photo's - Old Windmill

One of my favorite old windmill's that sits on the side of the Missouri River, between Holter Dam and Wolff Creek Bridge. The weathered character the metal takes on with the rust and fading of the paint.
This was also the inspiration for Old Windmill Malbec, that we stomped several years ago, as a part
of Floatfishers Cellars wines. We have another crop of grapes that have been picked, stomped and are settling now, hope to be bottling in the next few months.

Stay tuned for the next batch …….

Solitude of a Winter Float

Although I am not ready for winter to set in for the next few months, I do enjoy the occasional 
chance to break the boat out to enjoy the cool winter float. The peace and solitude of the river all
to ourselves, people looking extremely crazy at us as we slide the boat down the launch to the water.
Never stop, keep on keepin' on!
