Alpena upbound at the Cheboyganning Creek
The steamer Alpena called on the Saginaw River on a wet and foggy Wednesday morning, passing the Front Range around 7:30. She slowly made her way up the river to the Lafarge Cement dock in Carrollton. Alpena is the first vessel of the 2010 season to travel all the way up the river, and it will be interesting to see how her turn goes in the Sixth Street basin when she departs, as silt from the spring runoff can cause shoaling, making it difficult to turn. Alpena should be outbound late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. This is her first visit to the Saginaw River since the 2007 season when she made two visits.
