The Truck That Can Float - 002

We decided that the trip from Cloud Ceramics to Sioux Falls was a little dry, so we decided to see if we could float the truck across the Missouri River on the South end of Yankton, SD. If you have ever seen the old rickety bridge that we'd had to cross, you would know that either way was a risk.

I said we'd sink like a 'Semi Truck full of bricks', since that's literally what we were.

I posted some photos of our floating adventure of the GPS so you can see, we did make it across!




I guess that doesn't prove we made it across, but kinda fun to watch that little GPSmobile swim it's way to the other side of the river.

Truth is, the old bridge in Yankton was discontinued for a newer updated model that our handy navigator didn't know about, so we crossed the new bridge completely dry and unharmed. Here's a picture of the new bridge.
