1. Chute Pond 09/25/2008 Paddling Friends1 Chute Pond – Thu, Sep 25  Temp 70º, 1 hour & 10 minutes on water; skies were overcast with the sun breaking through a few times. The water was smooth as glass, though the wind did pick up on the return trip.  We put in at the Oconto County public boat landing, off Y-Camp Rd, near Kitty’s Bar & Grill. Each vehicle paid $3 to use the landing.  We paddled to the north and east, passing the Everbreeze Resort. We turned back when just north of Ken Boyle’s cottage. (He put on new shingles this week.)  We saw a heron.  We went to Kitty’s II Grill & Bar for supper, where we met Ken Boyle.

2. Chute Pond 09/25/2008 Paddling Friends2 Participants (in tandem canoes):  Dallas and Ann Marie Wixom  Mike & Rita Shores We were scheduled to paddle Anderson Lake, but the boat landing is in the process of reconstruction. So we went to Chute Pond; The Fire Quacker 500 duck race was held there last Saturday, so the water level has been restored after repairing the dam this summer.
