Frosty Friday
Nov 14, 2014
South Dakota Magazine Managing Editor John Andrews explored a frosty Riverside Park in Yankton Friday morning. Temperatures near zero combined with fog left a thick coating of frost through the Missouri River Valley.
-
Riverside Park stretches 32 acres along the north bank of the Missouri River. -
The park is home to a replica of the original Dakota Territory capitol building that was built in 1862 and demolished in 1886. -
A frost dusted statue of famed riverboat captain Grant Marsh overlooks the Missouri. -
The double decker Meridian Bridge was open to traffic from 1924 until 2008, when it was converted to a pedestrian bridge. -
Steam rises from the river on especially cold mornings. -
Even in subzero temperatures the Missouri River remains open for waterfowl. -
The Meridian Bridge disappears into a frosty grove of trees on the Nebraska side. -
The sun had already begun melting frost on the statue "Last Look." -
This squirrel was chattering nonstop. Perhaps the cold bothered him, too. -
Fall color tries to hold on as winter moves in. -
Marsh lived in a brick home just blocks from the river, which was his livelihood.
