I've ridden the ferry and it was always Wheatland Ferry. <BR><BR>The only times the ferry was not operational was the excess rains <BR>swollen the river beyond the banks. <BR><BR>David Samuelsen <BR><BR>Sue Steward wrote: <BR>> Are you saying I haven't ridden across the river on the Wheatland Ferry? <BR>> <BR>> Sue <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Marsha Bradley-Luthy" <pmml@meritel.net> <BR>> To: "or-roots mail list" <or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us> <BR>> Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 4:14 PM <BR>> Subject: Re: [or-roots] Matheny's Everywhere -- (and Simkins) <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> nO nO nO nO nO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Sue Steward" <ssteward@ccountry.net> <BR>> To: "or-roots mail list" <or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us> <BR>> Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 2:11 PM <BR>> Subject: Re: [or-roots] Matheny's Everywhe
