Park-to-Park Paddling Event 2011

Here is a YouTube video of our kayaking adventure this last Saturday, the 23rd of July.  It was 8.5 to 9 miles of paddling from Shattuck Park in Neenah to Lutz Park in Appleton.  The day began with thunderstorms and a rainbow and ended with thunderstorms and a downpour.  But it was dry for the entire paddling event.  There were, I believe, well over 130 people with a variety of kayaks, canoes and paddles.  In the video you will see everyone raise their paddle in a salute.  We were in the locks waiting for the water to go down so we could continue on our way.  Fantastic time!

Reid took the videos.  I just edited them into one video and had fun doing it.
