    At 10:10pm just looked out the living room window and there she was. She is just now turning the bend in Cordova, Il. Won’t be long and the boat will be too!

    For many of those who live in the Midwest, the first tow of the season is the unofficial start of spring. The first tow to break through Lake Pepin in 2012 was the Motor Vessel Deana Ann, a tow operated Marquette Transportation Company, Inc., of Paducah, Ky., March 17. The average opening date of the navigation season in St. Paul for the last 10 years is March 20.

    There’s a post in the MN/Mississippi River/General forum Mike.
