Yes we were on the rise of the trail near the Point Bridge piers.  I started 
out with over 300 photographs from that night and deleted 2/3rds of them.

A highlight of the evening was hearing the deep throated whistle from the 
Delta Queen several times on possibly her last trip to Pittsburgh.  In a 
great show of intelligence, she left her mooring at the North Shore about 1 
hour before the fireworks and headed down the Ohio to a safer place.

Congress needs to pass the exemption of wooden boats to keep her in service.
