Green Bay Packers

When you think of the Green Back Packers, you probably think of the football team, especially if you are from Wisconsin.  The "team" I'm referring to are the guys that work on the ferry that goes between Gills  Rock on the most northern point of Door County to Washington Island.  These 2 spots are situated between Green Bay and Lake Michigan.

These guys really know how to pack in as many vehicles as possible for the short trips made numerous times a day during the summer season.  

First the bikes were loaded, and you can spot Don, Roy and Char ahead of me.  Our bikes were all strapped in at one end of the ferry.
Next came the walk on passengers. 
Then they started to load the waiting cars and trucks......
which were packed in so tight that both the front and back bumpers were touching.  I thought for sure the man in the white truck was going to scrape the side or back of the car in front of him.
Oh my gosh!!!!! I thought the passengers on the bus were all going to disembark before riding the ferry over!
Nope, the bus driver backed it down the middle of the ferry!  I was nervous just watching him and was sure glad that we decided to take our bikes.
With just inches on each side, the behemoth squeezed in between the rows of vehicles. They were packed in like sardines in a can!  Another successful load for the "Green Bay Packer Team"!
