While crossing the back channel bridge on our way to the The Stone Barn in Nelson, WI we spied some interesting activity in and around the boat landing. A National Guard engineering company out of Hammond, WI was returning from an exercise. It would have been something to see, connecting those floating bridge sections together to span the river channel; then driving vehicles across! It was interesting enough watching the company load out of the river in between Red Wing and Mississippi on Trenton Island.

Excellent series! B&W enhances the documentary! 🙂
What a unique photo op. I’m almost surprised you were “allowed” to photograph this. In many ways, I find this whole drill somewhat unsettling. Great shots, as always.
I hear the unsettling part and I never wish for these young men to be deployed. That said, I am grateful that there are so many that have sacrificed so much so that we are prepared if need be.
