Photo credit, not a paycheck

Got a shot of one of these boats?

We track live boat and barge traffic on the Mississippi near Lake Pepin, Red Wing, Hastings, and Winona — but it's all dots on a map right now. If you've photographed one of the actual towboats, we'd love to show your picture next to its live tracking page, with full credit and a link back to you. This isn't a paid gig — just a way to make the real boats feel a little more real.
