Steam boats at Lee's Mills

TomC · 09-20-2010, 07:32 AM

I went up to see the boats (and a couple of old cars) on Saturday. The parade was nice yesterday morning too.. my dock is a front row seat!

Really a very cool thing!

I wish I had known I usually take my sons there to watch the parade. It's always fun .

What old cars were there?

a black Stanley steamer and something like a Reo from the early 1900's, in yellow, with wooden spoked wheels were there on Sat afternoon

Here's the second video from my ride on the Wicwas. In this video builder Dave Thorpe describes how his steam engine works.
