Little Red Truck Barges Its Way to Tangier Island How do cars get to Tangier Island? On a special barge, shown above heading to the island with a Chevrolet S10 pickup truck for Andrew Parks, who stands with the truck in photo, above, right. Although golf carts are more popular for getting around the island, they lack the carrying ca- pacity of a truck and can get pricey to operate. A new set of batteries costs about $600 per cart. Park’s “new” truck has proven its reliability over 317,000 miles. Photos by Jim Ritch.
