River free from obstructions

I paddled the 7 miles from Holly to Fenton on Sunday April 30 and never had to portage once. Doug Lanyk and others from HeadWatersTrails did an awesome job chainsawing fallen trees and removing obstructions in the river. During the trip I took about 70 pics and 10 short videos using my waterproof digital Pentax Optio Wpi. The pics and video will enable the DNR to see how the work was done i.e. preserving fish habitat, preserving vegetation, preserving beaver dams, etc. As soon as I figure out how to post very large video files, I'll provide a link for viewing.
